Up for the Challenge?

I’m a big fan of the gratitude challenge . . . Showing gratitude everyday for at least 30 days . . . And then, even better, everyday for the rest of your life!

And now I’ve got another Challenge to propose . . .

I’m taking it myself out of necessity . . .

The other day I over-reacted to some behavioral situation with my oldest daughter. And after, I felt really angry with myself. (And I’d love to say that this is the first time this has ever happened . . . It just wouldn’t be true.)

And it made me realize just how incredibly important it is to have compassion.
For others. And for yourself.

Compassion is an awareness of suffering and a desire to relieve the suffering. With compassion, you open yourself up to a whole new level of understanding and a tremendous ability to forgive.

Compassion is applied Love. It’s accepting a person as they are, unconditionally.

Very often, the compassionate desire to improve a painful situation is enough to lift a burden and make a space for solutions to enter.

The opposite of compassion is judgment.

And if you judge yourself, you will most certainly judge others as well.

If you can learn to be compassionate with yourself, you’ll also find yourself offering more kindness and mercy to those around you.

Take the Compassion Challenge

So, as your Love teacher, I’m presenting you with an opportunity to transform your life.

I want you to take the Compassion Challenge.

For the next 30 days, focus on using compassion where before you had been judging yourself or others.

If I didn’t have compassion for myself and the fact that I’m a human being, doing my best and making plenty of mistakes along the way, I would quit being a Love teacher altogether.

And then I wouldn’t be fulfilling my purpose . . . Serving you, my faithful Love students.

And without compassion, our problems just get more severe. If we judge ourselves and start to identify as an over-reactive parent [Fill in the undesired identity], we cement that poor behavior into our lives as part of who we think we are.

Instead, we can isolate the incident and recognize that a specific situation does not define us. (Thank goodness!)

Empower yourself and those you Love by sharing compassion.

Take the 30 Day Compassion Challenge.

Invite your friends to take it too.

Just as gratitude will change your life, so will compassion! It will be an important skill to help us all create a more Loving world!

And perhaps the most beautiful part of a 30 day Challenge is that it’s long enough to be habit forming.

So by the time you’re done you’ll have changed the way you interact with yourself and the world. You’ll be better equipped to be a compassionate person for the rest of your life.

It’s been shown that accountability and social support are key elements of success.
