Be Curious About Others

There are over 6 billion people on the plant, and, as we said yesterday, no two are alike.  You can’t make generalizations that all older people think this way or all parents are like that. 

Learning about others can be a wonderful past time.  If you happen to be self-conscious or an introvert, this can be a way to get out of your shell.

Be curious about people.  Instead of thinking about what others will think of you, put the focus on the other person.  What are they passionate about?  What are their likes or dislikes?  What are their beliefs?

It can be fascinating to learn about other people.  Can you put yourself in their shoes and see the world through their eyes?  It may lead you to realize how they make their decisions or why they do what they do.

But as you meet new people and get to know them, do your best to not judge them or what they do.  There is always another way of looking at a situation.   If you came from the same background and had the same experiences, you might make the same decisions they have made.

Let them have their experiences and you make your own decisions about what your life experiences will be.  If someone is having a hard time, you can listen with sensitivity and concern without getting into the situation with them.

You are responsible for your own life and no one else’s.
