What I Learned About Me... from A to Z
What have I learned about myself this past year {blogging}..? hmmmm... First off... I would like to make sure you know up front... I never had blogged before until I started this blog 349 days ago. Secondly... I never intended on learning anything. HAHA! LOL! No but seriously... It wasn't my intention... Check out what my intention(s) were/are here.
So here goes... What I Learned About Me... from A to Z
"C" is for...
Compassion. Yes.... compassion. Let me explain. It isn't that I was not compassionate, I was... but for others. Now... to be compassionate for oneself ... that's a different story. (It's Thalong the lines of forgiving yourself.)
To show compassion is sympathetic consciousness of others' distress together with a desire to alleviate it .
Let me ask you this... why is it so difficult to show that same courtesy to yoursoelf?
Through blogging, I noticed that I cared about many people in my life... however I did not care about myself... at least not enough to take back my life. {not until this last year, anyway}
In this last year I learned that I need to take care of myself just as well as I care of those who I love in my life. Otherwise... who will take care of my loved ones?
Tomorrow... What I Learned About Me... from A to Z ... the letters "D" & "E".
At the end of the day, love and compassion will win.~Terry Waite
