Empathy

I love Brene Brown.  If you haven't heard of her, she is a researcher and author and she has given a famous TED Talk that is in the top 5 most watched of all time.  But, today, I want to talk about empathy and Brene Brown has a great short video (less than 3 minutes) to help make the concept of empathy come to life.  I hope you will take a moment today and watch it.

Brene Brown on Empathy Video

Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.  This is an incredibly important skill for us to develop in being able to support and build healthy relationships with our friends and loved ones. 

Here is a short video clip from the movie Inside Out that shows the importance and value of empathy and validation of feelings in action.

I appreciate every person who strives to demonstrate empathy - it is the way we successfully connect and build relationships with those around us.  You make the world better with your empathy.
