Let them shine
Human beings, pattern-seekers and meaning-makers that we are, tend to make assumptions very easily.
We see something and then extrapolate from it (without even noticing that we are doing so!)
Here’s a way we can better care for one another: catch ourselves when we make assumptions about how someone else is doing, feeling, or experiencing life.
Instead, shift to curiosity: ask questions, consider what you might not be seeing, and be open to learning from them. Let them shine as they are—by inviting them to be who they really are.
