Lately, I have been wondering why a person in a situation is behaving/responding differently than I would? Obviously, we are different hence different responses but I was more concerned about what it is about me that my first thought is ‘why is this person taking things this way?’…
Then, I realized the answer is in the question, of course, they take things differently than me, we have different experiences and we want different things. A useful question instead is, now that I’ve realized that, how do I help the other person get to where they want to go (not where I wish them to go)?
