Understanding

Understanding is using your mind to think clearly, paying careful attention to see the meaning of things. An understanding heart gives you empathy and compassion for others. Understanding is the power to think and learn and also to care.

You are practicing understanding when you…

· Concentrate and pay close attention

· Reflect on the meaning of things

· See the whole picture

· Resist distractions

· Put yourself in other people’s shoes

· Forgive others and yourself when you make mistakes

Affirmation

I have an understanding heart.

I have empathy for other people’s feelings.

Quotable Quotes about Understanding

What the heart understands today, the head understands tomorrow

-Anonymous

Of course understanding our fellow beings is important. But this understanding becomes fruitful only when sustained by sympathetic feeling in joy and sorrow.

-Albert Einstein

Understanding a person does not mean condoning: it only means that one does not accuse him as if one were… a judge placed above him.

-Erich Fromm
