Self Love Saturday is here and today’s topic is compassion. Compassion for self, for others, for everyone. When we are compassionate, we accept things as they are. We recognize and understand suffering of others and of ourselves too. We understand that there could be many things that affect why something or someone is certain way. There is less judgement and more acceptance.
Compassion literally means “to suffer together“. We can only feel compassionate when we understand that we all are connected to each other and that too very deeply. We all are the same, no matter how different we look from the outside and we all want the same thing in life - acceptance, love, respect, success, happiness, meaning, and more. When we start seeing this commonality in each other, we can put ourselves in others’ shoes and compassion comes easily to us. Have you ever gone to a party where you didn’t know anyone? Then you meet someone who has gone to same school as you in childhood. How does that make you feel? Connected, right? There is an instant connection because you have something in common. Enthusiasm, eagerness, smiles start showing up and all of a sudden it’s not a boring party any more; there is a sense of comfort and familiarity. Compassion can be felt the same way when we realize that every single person around us is exactly like us at the core. There is no difference between us. That’s when you start seeing people with compassion. You understand and accept everyone as they are without judgement. Kindness flows from within.

* Enough

All of these are very important because they make us feel complete. Practice compassion daily and see how marvelous every day of your life becomes. ✨🌈💗🌊 #GratefulKanan #SelfLove #SelfCare #SwarmingForSelfLove #SelfLoveSaturdays #compassion #kindness #pacificocean
