Walk a mile in their shoes and let it go!

I’ve recently been reminded that you can’t really know what’s going on with someone, and more importantly how that affects their behaviour, until you can put yourself in their shoes.

It can be very easy to make judgements, and let’s be honest - we all do it! But the trick is to be able to re-evaluate your judgement when you do know and move on to a greater understanding and empathy rather than to hold on to grudges.

I know it’s easier said than done and that we all have people in our lives that we just don’t feel able to do that with. But at least if we make a start with the less emotionally charged situations, we might get there in the end, and preferably before it’s too late.
