A Lesson from Atticus Finch - Thoughts from Kevin

Atticus Finch, Atticus Finch, you might immediately know who I mean and you might be thinking, I should know that name, shouldn’t I?

Well, Atticus Finch is the protagonist in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird. If you haven’t read it, you’ve probably seen the movie. If you haven’t done either, you should go watch it or go read it now.

But there’s a line in the book, and I believe in the movie as well, where Atticus Finch says you never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view.

You never really understand a person until you consider things from their point of view. How often do you do that? I mean, how often do you step back from your own perspective and look at it from someone else’s perspective?

This is a very powerful lesson for us to consider. And in this episode here, I’m sharing two different ways to help broaden your perspective.
