#2 Growing empathy

Teave

Everybody has world views (the way you look at things) due to, for example, the place where they were born, the people around, the education followed. World views are helpful, though they can also be in your way. This activity will support you in finding your own world view and recognising when you have a worldview shift. When understanding your own world view, you can also create empathy towards opinions, emotions, experiences, values or behaviour of others. And when understanding it makes it easier to have an appropriate response towards that other.
﻿
So put simply, your world views determine your values and behavior. Everybody knows that when the funding from a house is solid, that there will be a big chance that the house will stay there for a long time. The foundation of that house is massively important. The same for your life, when you know what is very important for you and you make this the foundation of your actions and decisions then this supports your happiness and effective living. It will support you in being self-aware and prevents you from being limited by others. What or who is at the center of your life? What empowers you to have influence on the actions and decisions that you take?
﻿
﻿
Review your center, what is there? And do you want to have this at the center? Does it support you in the way you want to live? You can use the example of the circle in the image and create your own personalised circle.
