You may be more attentive than usual to the moods and needs of the individuals you encounter as you move through the various spheres of your life today. Whether you are engaging in recreational activities with loved ones or applying the full weight of your intellect to a group project with colleagues, you will likely find yourself growing consistently more aware of the nuances of human behavior. This newly-developed alertness can help you understand what others truly need, determine if people's words are wholly truthful, and protect yourself from those whose motives are misguided. You can also grow closer to those individuals about whom you care today, as you will likely have little difficulty seeing the world from their perspectives.

We can viscerally connect with others by employing our empathy when we engage in shared positive activities or cope with communal sorrow. Normal human experiences become opportunities to walk another path for a brief instance as we ask ourselves what our peers are thinking and feeling. Consequently, we need not guess at the emotional and intellectual needs of our compatriots because we are sure of the nature of their relationships with the world around them. The close attention we pay to others grows more rewarding as time passes and we learn to relate to people on their unique terms. You will find yourself in a wonderful position to support your peers today because you understand them empathetically.
