I think a lot of people out there need to learn to have some self compassion for themselves. Its easy to beat yourself up everyday for making mistakes but from my experience it seems so hard to give yourself credit when you actually do things well. Self compassion is something I have been working on lately and I actually feel a lot more free now.
It is really important. Of course no one reasonably thinks that that means not trying to be our best selves, but to be kind to ourselves and recognize our humanity is actually just humble and good! And being more compassionate with ourselves somehow does seem to make us more able to be compassionate and understanding to others in their weakness and mistakes as well.
Very true!
