Empathy is seeing with the eyes of another,
Listening with the ears of another,
Feeling with the heart of another.
We all know the power of empathy and how it makes us feel connected and understood in our daily life. Lack of empathy affects our health and our attitude towards traumatic situations. I came across this story a few days ago and was amazed at the effect it had on children having treatment for cancer. Compassion and empathy are what we need to build within to heal and become whole.
Stanford Graduate School of Business Marketing Professor Jennifer Aaker shows the value of harnessing empathy to design products, and improve the performance of employees.

It is a great idea Mary. I was very happy to see they are using connection and empathy to heal our deep wounds.
Yes, beautiful and important! 💖💖
I agree Trini, anything that helps children through this trauma is a gift. Thankyou.
Wonderful Karen!
Thankyou Nico. 🙂
Such an important message, Karen, and I loved the video. ❤
It is wonderful to see such innovation and support for those experiencing a difficult journey. Thanks Carol.
Don’t tell anybody this, but I’m secretly an emotional, empathetic person. I usually cry, when no one’s around, whenever I watch tearjerker movie and TV scenes. 😀 Plus, my eyes are just always watery for some reason. It’s watery when I laugh. Usually in the morning, first hour after waking is the worst. Sometimes for no reason at all, my eyes just starts to get watery. One unique thing about me.
Being sensitive is a wonderful gift. It shows me that you feel deeply and can show empathy easily. I am glad you are unique Rommel. 🙂
You are greatly expanding the minds of your readers. We harness such amazing power and need to learn how to unleash its potential. Your words and messages offer hope where many believe none exists. This is a powerful post. Thank you once again for sharing.

We can all make a difference in the world by keeping our hearts open and never forgetting that we are all connected. Love this post Karen ❤️
We can Val, this is true. Thankyou.
This is beautiful Karen! Thank you for sharing. Cheers from Germany ~
Guten Morgen Helen! It is a great story for those with cancer. Thankyou.
Thank you for the post. It got me thinking, too, about the difference between healing and curing. Even in situations were a physical cure is impossible, healing and wholeness on a mental/spiritual level can still a great comfort. Experiencing empathy certainly plays a large role in that.
Exactly Joanne. There is great power in our ability to heal this way, it is always a balance of the physical, emotional and spiritual within. Thankyou.
What a great video!
It is! Thankyou Julie. Hope you are good.
