Last week in Thoughts From the Heart, I discussed communication in relationships. This week, I’ll expand and talk a little more specifically about myself and how this relates to our vision for the future.
One thing I’ve learned about myself is that I appreciate contrast. Nobody knows how good they have it until they hear about another’s suffering. and we all suffer in something. I appreciate conversations with others when they relay their life’s experiences. It helps me gain perspective. I find then talking about that perspective solidifies it in my mind. I learn a new lesson in life.
Each of us can relate. We all have something we are good at or have a good thing going with. We can all say something to the effect of “I’m glad I’m not dealing with that.” We’d all take our own challenges over someone else’s. That doesn’t make one better or worse than another, because we all have something we also suffer with. Each person’s challenge is their own. And sharing our suffering can help someone else gain some perspective on their situation.
