Empathy is difficult. I’m not you, I can’t imagine the path you’ve traveled, the stories you tell yourself and the pressures you’re under.
But real gratitude requires empathy. Everyone is under the circumstances. Everyone does the best they think they can with the options they think they have.
All of us know what something is worth to us, but we often don’t think much about how much it cost.
Once we understand this, it’s easier to embrace the kindness and opportunities that people offer us.
