Are you good at understanding others? Sometimes I struggle with this part of my life, especially when it’s people I know well, or people on social media. However, what I’m trying to learn and apply is that when I take time to really listen, to consider an alternate view, at the least I can better understand others better even if I don’t agree. Many times if others see that you’re trying to understand them, it can defuse a potential conflict or argument, keeping life peaceful. And trying to grow your understanding of others will encourage others to also listen to your thoughts. That’s a win-win!
