Practice Compassion

“Compassion is not a feeling, but is direct, skillful action.” -Christopher Titmuss

“It’s not enough just to talk about compassion; we have to do the work of compassion.”—Thich Nhat Hanh

“When compassion arises, the next step is actively expressing it. This is what brings compassion fully to life.”—Tara Brach

Compassion is a skill that takes practice to perfect. Consider making compassion a daily practice in your life by smiling at everyone you encounter, being patient, speaking gently and kindly, encouraging people, expressing appreciation, apologizing when you’re wrong, and forgiving people when they make mistakes.
