Empathy vs. Enabling
Img_0011
There’s a fine line between empathy and enabling.

Empathy understands but sees you as capable. Enabling commiserates, agrees that your situation is impossible and sees you as crippled.

The next time someone doesn’t feel sorry for you, doesn’t agree with you, or expects more of you, don’t accuse them of a lack of empathy, thank them for the empowerment.

Take it as a compliment…

Love,
