Choosing Compassion:

 

Compassion

We evolved with the capacity to feel empathy and kindness – to care for ourselves and others. Without compassion, we likely wouldn’t be here.

Our well-being – emotional, mental and physical health – depends upon compassion.

What is compassion?

Freedom
We dismantle our urgency to armor,
defend ourselves and judge others.

Curiosity
We seek to understand, heal relationships and collaborate.

Open-mindedness
We create spaciousness for beliefs different from our own.

Kindness
We care that others feel seen and that they know they belong.

Generosity
We respect that some people are wounded and in pain,
rather than evil and malicious.
