Walk a Mile in Their Shoes - Wellbeing Wisdom Tiny Bites Podcast

Have you ever heard the saying, “you don’t really know someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes”? It’s a visual way to describe trying to understand someone else’s life, point of view, and motivations, and it’s great as far as it goes.

You will never really know someone, no matter how long you’ve known them and no matter how many things you’ve been through together. You can know a lot about them, and you’ll never know enough to be able to perfectly predict their actions and feelings.

It’s the same with you and me – I can’t know what you know or know feel how you feel, and vice versa. Your life has uniquely prepared you for this moment in time, just as my life has uniquely prepared me for this moment in time.

The best we can all do is try to give everyone in our lives the benefit of the doubt – believe that their intentions were good ones, not nefarious ones. When you can do that, it’ll be like you’ve walked at least half a mile in their shoes, and that’s a really good start to knowing them well.
