I've always been a very rebellious, philosophical person, so my mother set the foundation for my appreciation for nature and my empathy for other people. but then, being a sort of rebellious, philosophical thinker, i'm always looking for new ways to shake things up. so i feel like i'm really lucky to be alive in a time where there's so much opportunity to disrupt and shake it up. it's sort of a combination between that and having the foundation that my mother gave me.

More From Adrian Grenier

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. opportunities! every life is full of them. every newspaper article is an opportunity. every client is an opportunity. every sermon is an opportunity. every business transaction is an opportunity, an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.
Opportunity Mind Clients
The act of compassion begins with full attention, just as rapport does. you have to really see the person. if you see the person, then naturally, empathy arises. if you tune into the other person, you feel with them. if empathy arises, and if that person is in dire need, then empathic concern can come. you want to help them, and then that begins a compassionate act. so i'd say that compassion begins with attention.
Compassion Empathy Needs
I'm often asked how i define "success." it's an overused term, but i fundamentally view this elusive beast as a combination of two things - achievement and appreciation. one isn't enough: achievement without appreciation makes you ambitious but miserable. appreciation without achievement makes you unambitious but happy.

Normal people have an incredible lack of empathy. they have good emotional empathy, but they don't have much empathy for the autistic kid who is screaming at the baseball game because he can't stand the sensory overload. or the autistic kid having a meltdown in the school cafeteria because there's too much stimulation.

I'm a visual thinker, really bad at algebra. there's others that are a pattern thinker. these are the music and math minds. they think in patterns instead of pictures. then there's another type that's not a visual thinker at all, and they're the ones that memorize all of the sports statistics, all of the weather statistics.
Sports Math Thinking
Acceptance is appreciation, and the high value of appreciation is such that to appreciate appreciation seems to be the fundamental prerequisite for survival. mankind will not die for lack of information; it may perish for lack of appreciation.

To love is simply to allow another to be, live, grow, expand, become. an appreciation that demands and expects nothing in return.
Appreciation Love Is Return
I find the love of garden grows upon me as i grow older more and more. shrubs and flowers and such small gay things, that bloom and please and fade and wither and are gone and we care not for them, are refreshing interests, in life, and if we cannot say never fading pleasures, we may say unreproved pleasures and never grieving losses.
Life Appreciation Gratitude
When i was playing before i retired, i never really understood the appreciation and the respect that people gave me. people had treated me like a god or something, and that was very embarrassing.
Appreciation People Embarrassing
The thing i fail to do is fully comprehend what's given back to me by the audience. you would think you would be a performer partly so you could feel all the appreciation or adulation, but i haven't quite managed that yet.
