Compassion is a quality that shifts you from simply personal development toward something more profound. The ability to see someone else's position has many benefits for both our physical and psychological well-being. Often the inability to do so can leave one frustrated, even angry.

This affirmation, listened to regularly, helps build your compassion and reminds to choose compassion over that anger that steals your joy. Even with people you strongly disagree with, try to see enough of their side that you get beyond "us" vs "them" and find that place where you can see them as another human being trying to figure out life just like you.

THE AFFIRMATION
