"Be as you wish to seem." - Socrates
However we wish to appear to others, let's aim to be real, to live our values, and walk our talk.
And when we fall short, may we practice self-compassion and be compassionate with others because we all fall short.
As Gloria Vanderbilt said, "We are not put on this earth to see through one another. We are put on this earth to see one another through."
Compassion and love. They are perhaps the most essential gifts we need to recognize, cultivate, and practice.
For peace, harmony, and well-being,
Charlene
THE FOURTH GIFT IS COMPASSION
May you be gentle with yourself and others.
May you forgive those who hurt you
and yourself when you make mistakes.
