Day 20. Compassion.
Our heart is our compass.
We are asked to "see" things differently. Instead of letting our hurts and judgements determine how we see and feel, let the goodness in us decide how to see and feel. We are to try to expand our perceptions of people, and reality...
Our hearts know we are here to learn, grow and evolve....our hearts know when we are authentic, honest and real.
a compassionate heart asks "how can I serve others?".
a compassionate heart knows that everyone is doing the best they can with what they've got.
a compassionate heart knows that people don't start out hoping they'll be abusive husbands, addicts, bullies or couch potatoes.
a compassionate heart sees that these people are limited by their "history".
a compassionate heart doesn't take everything so personally...for when we stop judging others, we don't feel judged ourselves.
a compassionate heart listens to the needs of others, says "I understand" and tells them how loved they are.
My favorite author Mike Dooley tells us "WE are the eyes and ears of God"
and by that, we can see and hear the good in everyone if we so choose.
Choose to see the good, be compassionate, and watch how much easier life becomes.
