I love how Chad puts the disclaimer at the bottom stating that he believes all of this note is probably obvious, but the hard part is actually practicing it.

That is so very true.

If I try and think about everyone who I know, whom I would describe as 'successful', empathy is probably the most common attribute that they all have. Meaning that within a few seconds of talking to them, I can actually get the feeling that they care about what I am saying and what I am doing. Most don't try and guide me in a particular way, they simply try to see if I know where I am headed on my journey.

Kudos to Chad for putting together this post!
