The Buddha is reputed to have said is you have compassion you have all the other virtues.
We may extend compassion for others while often overlooking self-compassion. All too often we can be very hard on ourselves. We need the reminder that we too are human. We need to accept ourselves and apply self- compassion. We cannot truly have compassion for another if we cannot give it to ourselves. We cannot truly give if our own well is empty of love.
So self- acceptance, self- compassion and self- love are essentials for us.

“It’s not your job to like me, it’s mine”.
Byron Katie

Why not make 2026 the year to have more compassion for yourself.
