Empathy is the ability to sense other people's emotions and imagine what someone else might think or feel. Empathizing with others enables you to act with compassion and find ways to reduce their distress and your own.

Empathy isn't reserved only for challenging moments in life; it also allows you to share in the excitement of others and experience joy together. It will enable you to create more meaningful relationships by authentically connecting with what others think and feel and for others to connect with what you're feeling.
