Often we focus on differences between people and these differences frustrate us.<\/p>\n

I learned a simple trick long ago and frankly, since I do this, there is not one person I dislike. The trick is: \u2018just like me\u2019. \u00a0I search for similarities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

By realizing that I have something in common with every person, connection comes easily. Even with the ones that seem totally different.<\/p>\n

Tip for today<\/strong>
\n<\/u>The next time you find yourself with\u00a0 a new person, seek the similarities. Look for the aspects, the experiences, and the qualities that make you similar to that person. And if you can\u2019t find the big things, start small.<\/p>\n

In some cases it is easier to see the similarities.
\nI challenge you to find the differences between Sophie and Charlotte, my twin daughters. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Al te vaak richten we ons op de verschillen tussen mensen en deze frustreren ons.<\/p>\n

Ik leerde lang geleden een eenvoudige truc. En, eerlijk waar, sinds ik dit doe, heb ik aan niemand een hekel. De truc heet: ‘net zoals ik’. Ik zoek naar overeenkomsten. <\/strong>Trouwens wetenschappelijk klopt dat ook: We zijn allemaal praktisch genetisch identiek. Ons DNA is voor 99,9% gelijk met dat van onze medemensen.<\/p>\n

Door het besef dat ik iets gemeen heb zelfs met iemand die mijn tegengestelde lijkt, wordt\u00a0omgaan met elkaar zoveel gemakkelijker \u00e9n de wereld een pak leuker!<\/p>\n

Tip voor vandaag<\/strong>
\n<\/u>De volgende keer dat je een groep mensen ziet, zoek dan naar gelijkenissen. Zoek naar de overeenkomsten in karakter, uiterlijk of ervaringen.<\/p>\n

Soms is het gemakkelijk om de gelijkenissen te zien.
\nIk daag je uit om de verschillen te vinden tussen Sophie en Charlotte, mijn dochters ;-).<\/p>\n
