Empathy
is the ability to see things the way others see them. When you are empathetic
to someone you completely understand what others are feeling.
Unfortunately
not everyone knows how to be empathetic. That’s not a bad thing – some just
need to be trained. Consider yourself lucky if you have natural empathy.
In
order to be empathetic you need to first understand yourself. When you
understand and accept your own feelings you can start to understand others. If
you don’t know where to start, watch a video that stirs up your emotions. Is
there a time when you instantly react with a lump in your throat and you’re
holding back the tears? Where do those feelings come from? Why do you feel this
way? Once you understand these feelings you’ll understand yourself. This is the
path to being empathetic.
Don’t
be in too much of a hurry to find your empathy. Sometimes it can’t be learned,
it has to be earned. You’re empathy will come from simply living life. Your
life experiences of heartache and heartbreak, love and laughter will help you
understand empathy.
So,
how does being empathetic help us to be the best we know how? Empathy helps us
understand how others are feeling and in turn we can respond appropriately and
be more helpful.
