What if Irony is Judging Others for Lacking Empathy?
A major challenge
of leadership,
is making the effort required
to realize empathy
first
in relation to people
who may not do the same
with us.
It is a challenge
that can easily build within us
feelings
of resentment
and vengefulness.
Making us wonder why
the world is filled
with such ungrateful people
and how unfair
the world is.
It is normal for us
to deeply
It is easy
to judge beauty
as lacking
function.
Unaware
of how his behavior changes
when faced
with beauty.
Just because the function isn’t clear
doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter
it just means, it’s versatile
The big misunderstanding
is that we’ll be happy
once we have
“it.”
Perhaps
briefly.
Then
it’ll be the same.
The challenge
is to be happy
now.
Not always.
But now.
Then pursue “it,”
simply because it’s fun
to pursue.
While one may misunderstand them
to mean the same,
there is a world of difference
between
“I may be wrong,
but I’m willing to take responsibility
if I am.”
vs
“I am right,
and I will prove you
wrong.”
When we find ourselves
particularly judgmental
of others
It may be worth shifting our focus
to articulating
how they make us feel
about ourselves
less
about them.
To appreciate our best
sometimes requires us to let go
of our tendency to judge our best not by I our best
by external best.
The phrase
“No matter what I try”
is a great way to
as if we have taken responsibility
whil
Conversation begins
When communication yielda
a result in conflict with our expectation
and we had already learnedly the choice
to appreciate the conflictas an opportunity for innovation
There are 3
small
yet significant discomforts
with which its worth
getting comfortable
Boredom
Delay
Silence
When I get that job,
I’ll feel happy.
When I hit $100mm ARR,
I’ll feel happy.
When I exit,
I’ll feel happy.
