Are you Empathetic enough ?

EMPATHY SYMPATHY ALTRIUSM COMPASSION

Empathy is something that is critical to the everyday life of every person on this planet.

Personally, I feel people have begun to lack this trait at the present time.

Myself included, we've stumbled and lost our way.

We've become cold hearted to the suffering of our fellow brothers and sisters

What's empathy?

The action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit manner.

"Lacking empathy makes relationships with your loved ones harder.

It makes social interactions a lot more robotic and unauthentic.

Empathy allows for deeper connections to form between people.

What I see a lot, especially in men, is that being empathetic is a sign of weakness. This cannot be further from the truth.

You're empathetic because you're strong.

It's because you have strength to spare.

Empathy isn't a feminine or masculine thing.

This mindset is dangerous and is what leads to the downward spiral into depression for men.

So let's please get rid of this notion

It's human nature to act unwisely and unlovingly occasionally. Especially during moments when you are mentally or emotionally weak or worn out. After analyzing my own imperfect life,  I can say this with utmost clarity  “The kinder and the more thoughtful a person is, the more kindness he can find in other people” It may sound corny, but it's as true as any statement. Kind people get more kindness out of the world. It enriches their lives and the lives of others.

Say YES to DisComfort

We all like to be comfortable. We enjoy staying underneath our covers when we get up, rather than starting our day. We enjoy sitting on the couch than going for a workout. It's a common trend: as humans, we innately favor comfort over discomfort. This is dangerous. Without discomfort, we become stagnant. It's so necessary for us to seek discomfort. Discomfort forces us to stretch our belief of what we're capable of. It forces us to not stay the same person. Most important, it forces us to grow. If you never feel discomfort, you aren't growing. The only way to improve is if we feel overwhelmed with discomfort. Mentally, physically, emotionally, you should aim to be stretched as far beyond what you think is possible. You transform when this happens. Stop hiding from discomfort. Stare it down. Sprint towards it. Embrace it, and learn to love it. When you learn to love discomfort, you become an invincible force. Nothing scares you, which opens up the world. You'll h...
