Your compassion for others expands when you allow yourself to be touched by the plight of other people.Your new discoveries about others and yourself in the process can be enlightening and rewarding.
It does not matter if you have experienced similar adversity. Your emotional mind can expand to understand the responses of anyone who is experiencing challenges that outweigh what they can handle. It is very empowering to be of aid to those who really are in need of your compassionate attention and help. It is a gift to you if you respond to those in need rather than doing something that is more pleasurable to you. The satisfaction that you will feel from doing these acts of kindness will enrich your life.When you make the difference in other’s lives, you expand your capacities for compassion and help to change the world.
