You are capable of so much more than we usually dare to imagine

Its never too late to take a moment to look.

Compassion allows us to bear witness to suffering, whether it is in ourselves or others, without fear; it allows us to name injustice without hesitation, to act strongly, with all the skill at our disposal.

We need the courage to learn from our past and not live in it.

We can have skills training in mindfulness so that we are using our attention to perceive something in the present moment. This perception is not so latent by fears or projections into the future, or old habits, and then I can actually stir loving-kindness or compassion in skills training too, which can be sort of provocative, I found.

We often get caught up in our own reactions and forget the vulnerability of the person in front of us.

Resilience is based on compassion for ourselves as well as compassion for others
