My Orange Duffel Bag Video #6:
Everyone Has a Story
Everyone has a story. You just don’t know by their appearance what their story is. Until you take the time to really be interested in them as human beings, to listen, to understand them. We become a reflection of our life’s experiences, the challenge is, everybody has different experiences, and there are a lot of people on this planet. Some people are brought into this world at the very bottom of the mountain top. They have to climb the whole thing. Other people are just helicoptered in near the summit, you know? The benefits are, when you’re helicoptered in at the top, you have a great view. When you start at the bottom, you learn to climb. They both have benefits.
EVERYBODY is Unique and Different.
We can talk about differences all day long, but the one thing that we share, the one thing that we all have in common, is that everyone suffers. Everyone has pain, disappointment, and experiences challenges, regardless of money, color, social status, education, etc. Everyone suffers. It’s what you do with the suffering that makes the biggest difference.
- Do you leverage that suffering and learn from it and become better and help others?
- Do you let that suffering act as a canker in your soul and be bitter about it?
- Have a chip on your shoulder?
The CHOICE is Yours.
I found that empathy is one of the greatest gifts we can have with other people. When we share our pain with them in their pain, beautiful things can happen. Wonderful things can happen. Empathy is one our greatest gifts. This is my story. I tell you my story so that it can help you on your journey, and for no other reason. What I’m really interested in, is your story.
