Few years back, or months, not really sure, I discovered how powerful selflessness is in building & maintaining harmonious, fullfilling & healthy relationships.
However the acts of selfessness are so wide. One of which i discovered recently was;not talking bout yourself when someone is telling you a story.
I actually have been guilty of talking bout myself when someone is telling me bout something that has happened to them.
So lets say someone is telling you bout a mistake they made. Instead of saying, I would never do that, I always do this. Rather advice her & take the ''I'' out of your advice.
If someone is telling you a story, there's really no need to tell your own experience on a similiar situation. Just let the light shine on that person for awhile.
Well thats something I observed recently on the topic of selflessness.
