5. Developing Compassion for Yourself


Listen Later

Compassion comes easy for us when we see our loved ones struggling or in pain. It requires more effort to tap into compassion for strangers or our enemies. But feeling compassion for ourselves with all our faults? That feels almost impossible!

The truth is, if we're going to go out and do hard things (like sharing our talents with the world) we're gonna need to develop some self-compassion. Why? Because we're going to screw up. We might embarrass ourselves or do something "wrong". We might lose money or gain enemies. We might anger someone or prove our ignorance. And compassion is the answer to it all.

When we put ourselves out into the world, we're committing to showing up for the good, the bad and the ugly. So let's start showing ourselves some big-time love, even if we don't think we deserve it. It will be your biggest secret to success.
