The Master Effect (Empathy)

If there was a universal way to connect and make a difference in this world then I would say use empathy. It’s impossible to be someone else and know exactly what they are going through but knowing their path because you have been there too can make an impact and can save lives. People long for understanding but don’t necessarily know how to connect sometimes, so when it does happen it brings harmony and magic. Too many influencers use peoples identities to get them to buy their product by convincing them that they know who they are by assuming that they have what they are looking for (connection) and when they prey on peoples desperation it creates a money pit. When you use empathy you empower people to grow and prosper and open doors for them to gain success. To use empathy simply relate with your own experiences and understand how it feels to be them, show them that they are not alone and that you know the feeling and what the path was like for you and offer your information to bring clarity from how you deciphered your perspective. When empathy is used, it is like providing trustworthiness in humanity instead of being a knock off or imitation of intelligence or emotion. It will feel and be realer with the effect it puts out.
