Compassion and empathy are something our world has slowly been developing. We’ve improved our way of life to bring more awareness to how we live, consider marginalized groups, and expand the rights of many beings on Earth.
We still have much work to do, but there has been tremendous progress in the last 2000 years. But we’ve missed the mark on compassion and empathy towards ourselves—particularly people driven to achieve.
In America, many driven beings wish to succeed, but they limit their ability to make the impact they desire because of their lack of compassion for themselves.
This will be the topic of today’s show.
Let’s dig in!
What’s Happening in Today’s Episode
Compassion and empathy have been on the rise in our society for some time now, but the area we lack deeply is related to ourselves. Many people learn to be compassionate towards others and the world around them.
This is fantastic.
But we will continue to suffer until we learn to apply the same love and empathy for ourselves that we do for others.
Compassion for ourselves unlocks our potential and allows the wounds of our past to heal. All of our past lives within us, and until we embrace the fullness of our being, we will continue to struggle with depression and anxiety.
Here is a quick highlight of the main topics discussed:
Introduction to the power of self-compassion and empathy for ourselves
Understanding Self-Compassion and Empathy
Why We Struggle with Self-Compassion and Empathy
The Importance of Self-Compassion and Empathy
Strategies to Cultivate Self-Compassion and Empathy
Conclusion
When we learn to apply compassion and empathy towards ourselves, we allow the full expression of our Essence to shine through. All of us bring gifts and abilities into the world. We can see that reflected in ourselves as children.
The pure expression of who we are. Slowly the world around us erodes at what lives within, and often by adulthood; we are but shells of ourselves. It doesn’t have to be this way. The way out is through love and empathy for ourselves.
As always, with every episode of my show, I aim to share things that may resonate to be used in your life today. Studying the concepts of self-mastery will hopefully give you the tools to tap into your highest potential.
