Emotional Space

When we accept that everyone has limits and vulnerabilities, and find contentment in our own lives, we naturally become more gentle. Respecting others as they are—without imposing our own way of doing things—allows each person’s individuality to shine. To support that, we need to maintain a healthy emotional space between ourselves and others.
Even when walking side by side, keeping a comfortable distance matters. Without it, we may feel uneasy, and the person ahead might speed up or feel pressured. A thoughtful heart begins by noticing the space between people. Because you and I honor that space, we can greet each other today with a brighter smile.
