From my eBook: Aligning with your authenticity Vol. 2 by Joycelyn Marshall
A peaceful coexistence requires everyone involved to respect each other’s differences, boundaries and perceptions.
Unity in diversity
Category: Empathy
Seeing what it is like at the bottom
Sometimes, it may take feeling like you are falling from your high position to become aware of what it is like—and to awaken your empathy for those—at the bottom.
On the grounds of equity
From my eBook: Aligning with your authenticity Vol. 2 by Joycelyn Marshall
Fairness dictates that we put our heads together on the grounds of equitable distribution of the common resources so that each can get their rightful share and access to the opportunities to satisfy their needs and highest aspirations—with dignity.
See it also from the other side
From my eBook: Aligning with your authenticity Vol. 2 by Joycelyn Marshall
See it also from the other’s perspective for a better understanding of the issue—towards a fair and balanced resolution of the conflict.
Getting along
From my ebook: Aligning with your authenticity Vol. 2 by Joycelyn Marshall
It becomes easier to get along well with others with a difference in perception when we reach a higher level of consciousness—as we are more open-minded, compassionate, and empathetic.
Looking back with compassion
From my ebook: Aligning with your authenticity Vol. 2 by Joycelyn Marshall
Seeing it from another’s perspective and empathizing can sometimes mean looking back with compassion and remembering when we were in a similar situation.
Regardless of size
From my eBook:- Aligning with your authenticity by Joycelyn Marshall
Every “bird” is just as important regardless of its “size” and deserves to exist in peace. We need to see life from the highest perspective or on a deeper level for us to coexist in harmony side by side.
Connected or apart?
From my ebook: Aligning with your authenticity Vol. 2 by Joycelyn Marshall
Compassion for each other brings us together in Unity consciousness where we feel connected by the same “source”.
Self-righteous judgment of others puts us in separation consciousness where we feel apart from each other and of different “sources”.
Listen closely to understand the other
From my eBook:- Aligning with your authenticity by Joycelyn Marshall
Sometimes in listening to others, we need to remove thoughts about ourselves, so that we can focus and understand what is being told from the other’s point of view. We would wish same from them. This is at the heart of empathy.
Rise above the fray
From my eBook:- Aligning with your authenticity by Joycelyn Marshall
If we could understand people’s reactions from their state of being, then it would be easy to rise above the fray to someone’s intentionally hurtful verbal reaction to our pure action. Where “rise above the fray” is to deal well with an unpleasant situation. An empowered soul would not succumb to limiting emotions, the likes of hatred; revenge; anger etc. in their response.
