“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries.
Without them, humanity cannot survive.”
The Dalai Lama
How we respond to what happens is as much a part of our shared reality as what we cannot control.
“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number, but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms — to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
Discover and train your courage to claim and live into this freedom.
Cultivate compassion.
A growing body of research in neuroscience reveals that compassion is both an innate capacity biologically rooted in our care system and a skill we can deliberately strengthen. It connects us to our deepest values and each other, revealing our shared common humanity and giving us needed clarity to navigate the challenges of life with wisdom, kindness, and humility.
If there has ever been a moment in human history when our interdependence and need for compassion are self-evident truths, it is now.
Wherever this finds you, whatever challenges you face, take good care.
May we all be well.
