Renowned meditation teacher Jack Kornfield reminds us, “If your compassion does not include yourself, it is incomplete.” This quote highlights the importance of self-compassion in our journey toward true well-being.
Self-compassion is essential
When we’re harsh with ourselves, it’s difficult to extend true empathy and understanding to others.
Self-acceptance fosters growth
Acknowledging our flaws without harsh judgment allows us to heal and become better versions of ourselves.
Self-care is not selfish
Tending to our own needs isn’t self-indulgent; it replenishes our capacity to care for others and live fulfilling lives.
