The Power of Empathy by Arthur Ciaramicoli

Nov 4 aft

Told my Second in command of my plan to take care of the company. He too voice his concern and can see that both boss and her second in command is not business driven.

My second in command also was affected by J's mail and wonder how I would respond. I shared about my flow of tots. Glad to have him on board. I told him I m now taking charge of the operations as I want to stay long here. Instead of feeling resentful or judging others for not playing their role. I can play mine and more.  This is a fresh perspective. Normally I would just play my designated role. Thanks to Sannidhi.

The power of Empathy by Arthur Ciaramicoli and Katherine Ketcham
Empathy helps us maintain a sense of balance and perspective in an ever-changing landscape, empathy teaches us how to flex and bend, letting go of our preconceptions and entering our rships with open hearts and open minds.

First we are conscious - awake and aware of ourselves as thinking, feeling beings. Then we are empathic, meaning that we are capable of understanding the tots, ideas, motives and judgements of others. Empathy is the bond that connects us, helping us to think before we act, motivating us to reach out to someone in pain, teaching us to use our reasoning powers to balance our emotions and inspiring us to the most lofty ideals to which human being can aspire.
By increasing our awareness of other people's tots and feelings, empathy shows us how to live fully and wholeheartedly.

Empathy teaches u when it is safe to say yes and when it is better, in the long run, to say no. Empathy knows how to set limits and draw boundaries. Empathy protects u at the same time it teaches u how to open up to life's experiences.

Truly wish I re-read this.
