My Wish For You – To Know What It Feels Like…
Posted on | June 2, 2009 | No Comments
There is magic in empathy.
To stand in someone else’s shoes.
To see through someone else’s eyes.
To know someone else’s happiness, triumph!
To feel someone’s pain.
There is sorrow, joy, and comfort in all of it.
But most of all, understanding.
I wish for you a way to connect with others in a meaningful way that will not only give to them, but bring you a depth of appreciation for life you’ve never known. When you can sense your place in this world, and often that comes from identifying with others, or seeing how you can help, how you can give, how you can soothe, how you can fight for others…well, I don’t think I could wish for anything more.
When you pass by people today, when that person complains one more time, I hope you breathe deep and try to see things from their perspective instead of seeing their situation through yours. The more you practice empathy – feeling what others feel – the more loving, patient, and tolerant you’ll be. It’s like connecting to the soul of the world. Magic.
May the world continue to surround you with experiences you love.
From my heart to yours,
Kelley Taylor
