Help Me Understand What's Compassion?

What's compassion? Compassion to me, is showing love and kindness toward others, giving them abit of your heart, and asking for nothing back in return. I'm blessed to spread compassion toindividuals who mightn't receive it otherwise, also to work with clients and their families regular, oroften.

I recently had the chance to go to a customer who was in Boca Raton, Florida who was recuperatingfrom a busted hip in a rehabilitation center.

After I walked in the room, her eyes lit up and she said, "What are you really doing here?"

I responded.

We spoke for over an hour about her thoughts on her treatment, the food of the facility, and herplans for after she returned home.

It made me feel really great that I possibly could reveal kindness and her love. Stopping by to visitwas such a little action from me, but it made a big impact along with her.

We consider that empathy makes all of the difference. You will find many ways to show compassionplus they could be as simple as calling to check on someone who we understand is sick, or by seeingwith him or her if they are in the hospital. Revealing compassion may also not be as difficult asfinding the time to really listen to others. We get so trapped in trying to "fix" everything, when oftentimes, people just need someone to listen to them, know that they're heard, which their feelings arevalidated.

I challenge us all to be the definition of compassion and also to demonstrate love and kindnesstoward everyone you meet.
