There is a distinct difference between empathy and compassion. Empathy is sympathetic- it is the perception that we feel as someone else does; compassion moves those thoughts from a shared mood or disposition into a call to action - it adds the desire to help. #compassion
Left unattended, thoughts can convince you that what you have seen before or what you see now is all there is. Unsupervised, they can carry you from joy to despair in a single day, and fool you into believing that a person or circumstance was the cause. #payattention
If you want to create a better tomorrow, be aware of the information you absorb today. Just like food, what we consume either enhances or diminishes our lives. #payattention
