8 APRIL 2021 — COMPASSION AND CONTENTMENT

Being contented with ourselves is certainly a good space to be in. This is not always easy as we are often our own worse critics and compassion for ourselves is often lacking. And, if we are unable to be compassionate for ourselves we are often more likely to judge and criticise others — if we lack compassion for ourselves then we are unlikely to be compassionate towards others.

Being contented with ourselves is one very important quality and this, of course, means accepting ourselves as we are knowing that as a human being it is not possible to be perfect but in order to be contented and compassionate to ourselves and others we need to love ourselves WARTS AND ALL.
