What would compassion do?

I love this question.

When you choose your thoughts and actions based on the answer to this question, it leads to more connected relationships, a more optimal life experience, and a better world.

Whenever I am mad, overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or someone else is not in the same space as me…

I try to remember to ask myself what compassion would do?

I include compassion for EVERYONE involved - INCLUDING ME.

These days I also include compassion for the entire world in my answer.

What might change if you

Paused

Were present

And asked yourself this question in the face of struggle, frustrations, shoulds, and .... ?
