Accept That You Don’t Get it
and don’t act like you do
Are you good at comforting people? I have always struggled with this. A friend comes to share his pain with me while going throw tough times, but I have no idea what to say and how to support him.
No one ever told me how to act in such situations, so I’m really uncomfortable when it happens. My mind is panicky searching for the right words, but no matter what I say I feel like I’ve failed as a friend. I know, that being compassionate is the right thing to do, but what does it mean? I was listening to one of the latest episodes of “On Purpose with Jay Shetty” when I got my answer.
In this episode, Jay is talking to RUSS — an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. They talk about self-determination, goals, visions, and much more. It’s such a wise and insightful conversation, that I’ve truly enjoyed. Besides, Jay and RUSS both have amazing personalities, and it’s a pleasure hearing them talk. So if it’s still not clear enough I definitely recommend you to listen to this podcast.
