We do not remember days ... we remember moments.
Cesare Pavese
Walk In Another's Shoes
Debbie Ford

Most of us are so wrapped up in our own lives that we rarely stop to consider the needs, desires, and feelings of others.  But it's important for us to realize that when we view life from our own limited perspective, we're only seeing half the picture.  To have true intimacy and connection in our relationships, we must spend time walking in another's shoes.

When we're in conflict with those we care about; or when we aren't being treated with the love, respect, or tenderness we desire, we have two basic choices.  We can defend our position and try to prove that we're right, or we can look at ourselves through their eyes.  The first choice hardens our hearts, while the second opens us to new levels of compassion, understanding, and intimacy.
