this week has been an unbelievable struggle for me, and I have used this podcast as mu journal to keep me motivated and reminded of why i do what i do, and how to do it best. compassion. I have been learning about this through books on mindfulness and podcasts on buddhism, and i really want to share it. when you truly seek to understand how and why someone is acting the way that they are, approaching everyone around you with kindness and compassion, it not only relaxes your brain and makes your interactions with that person better, it also helps you become a better person too. because it's working for me in my toughest times, i can only recommend that more of the world practice more compassion in both their interactions with others, and also just as importantly, with themselves.
