“Our willingness to consciously experience an unmet need with awareness is transformative. After bringing empathy and compassion to the pain, we can learn to widen our perspective. Instead of focusing on the need’s satisfaction, we can shift our attention to the need itself, independent of any conditions.”
― Oren Jay Sofer, Say What You Mean: A Mindful Approach to Nonviolent Communication
