Compassion is when you recognize that someone is suffering, and you try to help. And “suffering” doesn’t always mean someone is showing outward signs of feeling hurt. EVERY PERSON ON THE PLANET struggles with finding peace and joy and in that way we are all suffering together.
Small acts count as compassion. Here are a few examples of what compassion looks like:
1 – Smiling at a stranger
2 – Giving food to a homeless person
3 – Giving someone the benefit of the doubt
4 – Sending a quick “thinking of you” text message to a friend who is going through a tough time
5 – Having SELF-compassion and not beating yourself up for imperfection
Practicing compassion makes us happier, healthier and even more attractive. It strengthens relationships, creates communities and fosters world peace. For more information check out www.compassionit.com
