Not in my shoes

They say the best way to get to know someone 

is to walk a mile in their shoes.

Some of us have the same shoe size,

but lead different lives.

Walking in their shoes may take many miles

or even a lifetime .

This will be painful at times,

but without putting their shoes on,

we can’t say

“Oh we understand what you are going through.”

So till we come out of our comfort zone

and put their shoes on,

put them on our shoulders,

and let them guide us.

Then by doing this,

we’ll have a greater perspective

on their struggles.

Then we can say,

“we understand what you’re going through.”

At the end of this journey ,

may we have a better

and much deeper appreciation for that person .

When you take time to get to know someone,

you actually get to know ourselves .

Remember everyone has a story to tell,

we just need to open their book,and read it.
