“If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.”
~ Buddha
Compassion comes from the heart and, feeling the suffering, desires to alleviate it. All suffering comes from feeling disconnected from Spirit, our Infinite nature.
Compassion recognizes that the only reason we or someone else might do something intentionally that hurts or harms you or another is because we or they have lost connection with Spirit, with the love, grace and kindness of Truth.
We’re all Spirit having a human experience and there will be times when our human nature dominates our Infinite nature. Compassion restores alignment with Spirit in yourself and others in these moments when there’s a fall from grace.
Remember, we’re all doing the best we can from where we are with what we have. We all want and deserve to feel the love and grace of Spirit. And that, my friend, includes you. Start at home and use compassion to restore your alignment with your Highest and Best Self and then share that with others.
