Nine Days to Nurture: Compassion.

Life is a funny thing. Sometimes you're on top of the world, and sometimes you feel like you're at the bottom of the stack. One thing is for sure though: compassion wins. Nothing speaks to the human heart quite like compassion does.

Nobody ever wants hard times to hit, but they're inevitable in life. So when they do come it's nice to have someone near who can help you through.

Compassion comes from the Latin term meaning "suffer with". True compassion is being able to put aside one's own feelings and truly feel the sorrows of others. What could be more important than fostering human connections through true understanding, even in times of hardship?

We all know what sorrow feels like, and it's so much easier to bear the burden with the help of a loved one.

Compassion is necessary.

To all those who have shared in my sorrows: thank you. My heart has been truly lifted by the kind and sincere words of friends and family.

Reach out to those near you. Be the beacon in the storm for a friend when he or she is passing through a trial that may seem insurmountable. With your help, the burden can be lifted.
