171 / The Art of Understanding

What this episode covers

Everyone longs to feel understood. Has anyone ever given you advice without understanding? The impulse to communicate our opinions and desires without first understanding is seldom well received. Each person is wired with an innate desire to make our inner world, the depths of our hearts, known. Bringing the gift of understanding has the potential to unlock the best in someone. Who better than the ones you love most? Learning the art of understanding someone is an amazing investment and can reap the rewards of feeling fulfilled and bonded together. To develop healthy and right relationships, we are convinced that we can serve one another best when we avoid the temptation to give advice instead of offering understanding. In this podcast, we discuss the value of growing. Change is inevitable. Our world is changing quickly, but growth is optional. Together, finding mutual understanding requires more curiosity than certainty and more safety than solution. It requires us to be vulnerable with one another. We believe that the process of understanding proceeds the advancement and growth that we are all looking for. Thank you for investing in your life and relationships.
