Like he'd spill milk and his whole body would tense up and he would explode. And early on when I was a parent with these two little kids, they would do something and it really felt like my dad had taken over my body and I would just explode. And I could immediately see the reaction in my child. I mean, he would go into a state of crying that was like, just an abject state of fear.
I trained myself over time to never have that reaction again. I probably had it a dozen times. He would go into a fugue state of crying as if he was in an altered state, like I had shocked his system so bad. I realized I could never do that again. I've trained myself. The other day, my son was really upset that we were going out and I just sat there with them and I was like, I know it's so hard.
I want to be with you too, you know, and I love you so much. You know, I didn't react to his anger, his tears, his frustration. I was able to be there. And, you know, every time I did it, it got easier the next time I did it. I was creating a habit, a practice of being empathic in there.
And that's the key theme, I think, of Inspire that I think that I most want people to take away, which is that we can all learn to be more inspiring. We can all learn through reflection, through commitments, and through practice.
