be more compassionate

It’s so easy to get caught up in my own little world and focus too much on my own troubles.

Sure I need to look after myself or I won’t be any good to others but I know that when I show compassion that is appreciated it makes me feel good as well as the other person or people.

Compassion to me means thinking of another person’s needs as well as my own. Wishing peace of mind for each other person I’m involved with as well as working to improve my own peace of mind.

Actually, not only wishing peace of mind for another person but striving to be sufficiently mindful of that person’s perspective before jumping to express my own point of view.

Naturally my goal of being more compassionate is an ongoing one.
