Start your day with a little sugar‼️😁❤️💕#123

Today is May 3rd

- Tomorrow is Alexis bday so I want to say Happy Birthday Alexis this song is for you.

I am going to start of the day with the word of the day & quote of the day. A LITTLE ENCOURAGEMENT IN A WORLD OF HATE, Let's go! Play Song

This word might have already been on my list, but I feel it necessary to do again,

Today's word of the day is  " compassion or compassionate "

//: sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others;

//: feeling or showing sympathy and concern for others:

**Quote of the day:

"Never define yourself by your relationship status, your income or your looks.  It's your generosity, kindness and compassion that counts." - Brigitte Nicole

When you practice compassion, you start by empathizing with another person's situation. You look at what they are going through without judgment and imagine how you might feel in their situation.

Rather than just imagining yourself in their shoes, compassion drives you to take action to help that person. Because you are able to feel those emotions so keenly—almost as if it is happening to you—there is a strong motivation to find a way to change the situation or ease the other person's pain

- creating meaningful existence

- promoting peace

- encouraging kindness

- fostering understanding

Not everyone is compassionate. But compassion is considered to be like a muscle that, as any other, can be strengthened with relevant exercises—or can deteriorate and atrophy.  In other words, your capacity for compassion can expand, if you choose.

So try:

Speaking with kindness

Apologize when you've made a mistake

Listen carefully and without judgment

Encourage other people

Offer to help someone with a task

Be happy for someone else's success

Accept people for who they are

Show respect

Express gratitude and appreciation

Be patient

Strengthen your compassion muscle!!
