Well said! And practice we must!
I like your gentle approach to making change and your focus on being loving, kind and compassionate which is not always easy.
I got a good lesson one time which had me wanting to become more aware and dig deeper to be truly compassionate -
I had thought I was a fairly compassionate person but through an incident working with a child who was being difficult, I saw that I wasn't truly being compassionate but I was liking the challenge of getting kids through difficult times.
It was an eye opener for me and a bit humbling. I'm grateful it opened my eyes so I can find that compassion that's within me.
I've adopted the practice of doing more checking in with myself which helps with those speedy more reactive ways of being.
Lovely response - thanks for sharing!
