Lao Tzu provides powerful guidance to us: "I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures."
In our busy lives of commitments, deadlines, supervision, data inundation, cluttered calendars, it is easy "drop" any or all three of those mindsets that Lao Tau proposes.
While "simplicity, patience, compassion" are critical elements for our general health and wellbeing, Compassion is the one that has the most impact on those around us, the folks we love, care for, live and work with.
Compassion delivers several reciprocative benefits to us: Kindness, Connection, Caring, Forgiveness, Encouragement. Each one we confer becomes a force multiplier for both the giver and the receiver.
An added BONUS: To show Compassion costs us nothing.
But, oh, the benefits!!!
