American media makes a big deal of the human trait of empathy. We are reminded at every turn to always step in the shoes of our fellow people and look at the situation from their perspective. In fact, empathy is being kicked around so often in mass media that it runs the risk of being rendered meaningless. The more people repeat it, the more clueless people are about what it really means. It really is quite sad because empathy is necessary for emotional intelligence that directly affects the mind.

There are no two ways about it, this is an inescapable fact. If you want to become a more effective emotional person, and be in touch with your emotional intelligence and make it work for you, you have to know what empathy is and how to use it. Empathy means being able to look at any situation from the perspective of people in reacting with that situation. You may not necessarily like these people, and they may not have anything in common with you, but it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you are able to step out of the crushing gravitational pull of your own ego and pride to step into their shoes.

As you can imagine, this requires a tremendous amount of reprogramming because that’s not how people wire themselves. Most of us look at the world in selfish terms. We think the world revolves around us. In fact, too many of us think that once we die, the world dies with us because we’re no longer there to witness what’s going on. You know that that’s a lie. You don’t have to be a philosophy major in college to understand the concept of absolute truth.

The world existed before you, it exists now and will continue to exist long after you’re gone. That’s reality. How does this play out in terms of logic? Well, if you see a cat, it doesn’t really matter if it has stripes or spots, or has many colors or only one. Once you understand the form of a cat, you know that cats exist. The same goes with the world. If you can understand the concept of reality, then you know that reality exists whether you’re there to observe it or not.

The problem is a lot of people assume that they are the center of their universe. This is why empathy merely gets lip service. It’s very hard for us to stay away from the gravitational pull of our pride and egos. You would rather imagine that everything turns around us. This is why it’s really important to master the art of empathy. Ironically enough, to become a more empathetic person, you must first become more emotionally self-aware. In other words, to be selfless, you must first become selfish and self-absorbed.

Examine yourself. Are the emotions that you’re feeling what you think they are? Are you able to effectively communicate these emotions in an objectively clear way? Once you have answered these and other fundamental questions, can you make serious progress when it comes to empathy?

The problem with this day and age is people are afraid to be seen as fools. I don’t mean deliberately obnoxious fools but in regards to work experience and for good cause, society seems to have become a lot less patient. People don’t hold your hand anymore when you start pursuing a goal or a career path because everyone wants the made man or woman. Most industries you approach tend to demand more and more refined recruits and those employed in them are less willing to help out when it comes to new entrants. I refer to this as the “gate-keeping paradox” of modern-day work culture. My theory is that this is because the competition in the world has ballooned ten-fold, however, the availability of opportunities has not matched the net workforce. As a matter of fact, we seem to have a new guzzler as far as stiff competition for work goes-AI.

The good thing is that all hope is not lost for the beginner. There is a saying that goes that fortune favors the brave. In order to make it in this new cut-throat world you will need to push past the boundaries. The boundaries of your mind. The greatest boundary you will face is imposter syndrome. Aside from that, people will indeed judge you harshly at the beginning stages of your career because the quality of your work will most probably not be up to par, try as you may. That is normal and you shouldn’t be hard on yourself about that. That’s okay, be a “bumbling fool”, ask stupid questions and take what you can. Grow wiser and adapt to new experiences. Remember, your future self will thank you for pushing past the hurdles.

There is a new term I’ve coined for that feeling we get when we start out and we are constantly asking seemingly obvious questions to seasoned professionals then they get irritated at the simplicity of the questions. I call it the “beginner’s haze”. I describe it as the state of mental confusion or being unsure of yourself when beginning to learn or do a new thing often due to a lack of experience or saturation in available information or both. I saw it at play today in an undisclosed Discord server for copywriters. There was a certain individual who seemed to be lost on what to do and asked the members seemingly straightforward questions. Some of the more seasoned copywriters got irritated at what they perceived as obvious questions and belittled the member and those like them as lazy and prospective failures in the industry, seeing as they could not help themselves with such simple matters by just using google. This should not be the case. When you find yourself in a position of privilege, always remember to be empathetic or give constructive admonition. After all, the beauty of this world is when we hold each other’s hands through this hard journey of life. In the classical words of Jesus, do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

So in closing, I believe that if you can push past the hurdles at the start of your career simply by not taking anything personally, you should be able to navigate the uncertainties of your career and gain the necessary experiences required to progress.
