It’s not about the prize I have received for being the Walk the Cooee Way 2022 Q4 winner, what is more rewarding and triumphant is the appreciation and recognition of the little acts that I did that have impacted and don’t fade from the lives I have touched.
I'm a bit busy during the awarding due to the urgent request of the client at that time and hearing that narrative, I was amazed and at the same time I am puzzled and had no idea that the story is my story. The time I heard my name being called as the finalist, I am really shocked and speechless and, in my mind, what did I do to be the chosen one?
This is the 2nd time I was recognized to be a Walk the Cooee awardee, the first one was last 2020. I am beyond grateful that Cooee's values played a big part in my transformation and helped me to be the person that I can be.
I am pleased to know that I have the ability to be empathetic and to be compassionate towards others. And what is more fulfilling is the sense that I was able to bring happiness, help, showing my presence and little acts that enlighten the burden they carry.
Be Empathetic is one of the values and practices by Cooee, it helps a lot and made it easier for me to incorporate empathy in my day-to-day living. And because I have embodied empathy into my day-to-day living, I was surprised that empathy is now innate to me and is being cultivated more and more by Cooee.
"Empathy has no script. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. It’s simply listening, holding space, withholding judgment, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message “you’re not alone.” -Brene Brown
