If you are motivated by a wish to help on the basis of kindness, compassion and respect, then you can do any kind of work, in any field, and function more effectively with less fear or worry, not being afraid of what others think or whether you will ultimately reach your goal.
Fear and anxiety easily give way to anger and violence. The opposite of fear is trust, which, related to warm-heartedness, boosts our self-confidence. Compassion also reduces fear, reflecting as it does a concern for others’ well-being. This is what really attracts friends.
Hi, everyone! On Sunday, I will be traveling to Florence, Italy and I will not be home until the middle of July!
While I am out of the U.S., I will be using WhatsApp to stay in contact with everyone here! You can also FaceTime me when I have WiFi! :)
