Cultivate Inner Compassion
Compassion is your offering of kindness to nurture your inner self,
which then allows you to truly serve others with an open heart that is accepting and non-judgmental.
With self-compassion, we give ourselves the same kindness we would give to a loved one.
Self-compassion fosters an ability to treat ourselves with understanding and concern and encourages us to be open to giving and receiving.
"You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere.
You, yourself, as much as anyone in the entire universe deserves your love and affection."
Buddha
