On this episode of The Alliance Activity podcast, Andy Albright comes to you live from his home in Treasure Island, Fla. to share the four behaviors of compassion with you.

"Consider how much your actions will affect not only the outcome, but also the journey of another." -- Author Unknown

Moral: People need you along the path to success more than they need you at the finish line.

The 4 Behaviors of Compassion:

1. Notice Another's Distress

2. Connect to Another's Hurt

3. Respond to Another's Anguish

4. Replenish Another's Void

1. Notice Another's Distress Quote: "Now he understood that roads do divide, at the crossroads there is a choice, and blinding oneself to it is a form of choosing too." -- Eric Christian Haugaard from "The Untold Tale"

Moral: Your faith can move mountains, but your blindness can also create them.

1. Notice Another's Distress

Requires Two Things:

Faith (assurance from being accepting of something you can't see). & Conviction (reliance from depending on something you can see).

2. Connect to Another's Hurt Quote:

"Words can hurt your feelings but silence breaks your heart." -- C.S. Lewis

Moral: Is tough love better than no love? It is if it spares the heart and moves the agent. Bad feelings will pass, but a broken heart lingers.

2. Connect to Another's Hurt

Requires Three Things:

Be Attractive (Desire draws others toward you, but one must first learn to like who they are).

Show Affection (Warmth is responsible for whatever solid and durable happiness there is in people's lives).

Create Attachment (the secret to happiness is to get others to bond to something that is bigger than a reward).

3. Respond to Another's Anguish Quote:

"The role of friendship means there should be mutual sympathy between them, each supplying what the other lacks and trying to benefit the other, always using friendly and sincere words." -- Cicero

Moral: A sympathetic response in the spirit of Mr. Fred Rogers: "I like you just the way you are."

3. Respond to Another's Anguish

Requires Two Things:

Together Feeling (A Sympathetic Approach). This feeling is represented in two ways: 1. Comfort Zones, 2. Inner Circles

& Fellow Feeling (An Empathetic Approach). When you listen with empathy to another person, you give that person psychological air (giving their voice value).

4. Replenish Another's Void Quote:

"It is literally true that you can succeed best and quickest by helping others to succeed." -- Napoleon Hill

Moral: The best care for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired than you.

4. Replenish Another's Void

Requires Two Things:

Restoring (bring back to its former level or condition). & Filling Up (restock or resupply again and again).
