Compassion helps reduce burnout and builds resilience. Ever heard “Fall down nine times, get up ten?” Compassion for ourselves and others helps us get back up after the routine and major setbacks we all face in life. Compassion helps us reach our goals, and connect to a bigger picture. Compassion empowers us to deal with difficult people and situations.

Compassion helps us connect.

Compassion is the foundation of human life.

His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama
If you want to be happy, practice compassion. If you want others to be happy, practice compassion.
