Sad that you had to go through tough times but good that others now benefit from your empathy.
I love my work as a coach but one thing I continue to find challenging is that most people have to go through something themselves before they learn. Unfortunately I have to admit that this often applies to me too.
Thank you, Glenda. Unfortunately, we often need some kind of crisis to be able to change. The smoker needs to hear the diagnosis to quit, the drug addict needs to realize that his behavior is hurting his loved ones, and I needed to feel the pain on my own skin to see the world more clearly and not only in black and white. Otherwise, we tend to think those bad things cannot happen to us until they do. That is just part of being human.
