Words often leave a big impact on our heart and mind. There are times when one harsh comment from someone literally ruins your day or week. As human beings, almost all of us have gone through the same feeling at least once in our lives. Whenever someone says something bad to us, it makes us feel isolated and hopeless. This goes to show that we forget how much power people hold over our emotional well-being.
Now just imagine, if an unkind action from another person can push us into deep frustration, is it not equally true that a single act of empathy can pull us right back out? Take a walk down memory lane as you read this and think for a second and try to remember who gave you the courage to keep going when you felt like giving up.
