What is Empathy?
Do you know what empathy is? Empathy is the ability to understand the feelings, attitude and thoughts of another person.
When you are able to put yourself in their shoes and understand what they are feeling then your empathy is known to increase.
Once you are able to understand empathy you will show more interest in other people and you can learn from other peoples’ experiences.
You will be able to build a far better rapport which will strengthen their trust in you and yours in them.
Learning empathy strengthen your emotional intelligence, helps boost your overall happiness and helps you to achieve personal success.
Sometimes we are so busy with our own working life and goals that we do not stop to think about the next person
There is a statement which I recall from way back then: ”haste makes waste” I try to always stick to this statement.
Some of us tend to get rather frustrated when we cannot live up to our goals which we set for ourselves all the time.
We then give up too quickly. Sometimes we feel that we have accepted the challenge that came our way, but it has not changed our lives for the better at all.
So we give up. There is a very strong possibility that because in our haste to achieve our goals we actually tried too hard. Has this happened to you?
We forget that there are other people that are willing to help us with what we are doing, we just need to ask.
By asking for help we are actually helping ourselves and the person that has offered his help. We are making him feel good about himself, because he was able to help you. You have made his day for him.
Once you are able to understand empathy you will show more interest in other people and you can learn from other peoples’ experiences.
