When I got stuck on a particular step, I was told, "Obviously, you didn't do the preceding step thoroughly enough. You need to go back and complete it." And what do you know?

What did it feel like being THEM on the receiving end of my harmful actions, or harmful omission of actions. How might I have felt. But more importantly, how did THEY feel. This is an exercise in EMPATHY. in placing oneself in the ROLE of another. And seeing the world through THEIR eyes. From a position we may NEVER have inhabited previously. You have to get inside their skin. Walk in their shoes. See it from THEIR persepective. Its not easy. Good luck! the way i did it was in three columns
