When we listen to others, we wait for a gap to speak. That’s human, it’s our ancestors at work, our lizard brain.
If we do our best; we can seize the opportunity to listen to what the other person is saying and forget our own agenda.
It’s when we forget our own agenda completely – as if it’s non existent – we become aware of what the other really wants.
The fears and struggle, the hope and need to feel seen. When we truly see the other person instead of ourselves, when we practice radical empathy, we uncover new depths in our relationships that will strengthen them forever.
