Be kind to yourself and others from "summary" of The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down by Haemin Sunim
The essence of kindness is not only about how we treat others but also about how we treat ourselves. It is a reflection of our inner state - a mirror that shows us the depth of our compassion and empathy. When we are kind to ourselves, we are able to cultivate a sense of self-compassion that allows us to forgive our mistakes, accept our flaws, and embrace our imperfections.
By practicing self-kindness, we create a space within ourselves that is filled with understanding, patience, and love. This inner sanctuary becomes a source of strength and resilience, enabling us to navigate through life's challenges with grace and equanimity. When we extend this kindness to others, we are able to see the interconnectedness of all beings and the inherent goodness that resides within each one of us.
Kindness is not a one-time act but a way of being - a way of living that requires us to be present, mindful, and compassionate in every moment. It is a choice that we make each day, a commitment to ourselves and to the world around us. When we choose kindness, we are choosing to create a more harmonious and peaceful world for ourselves and for others.
So let us be kind to ourselves and others, not out of obligation or expectation, but out of a genuine desire to cultivate a sense of unity and interconnectedness. Let us embrace the power of kindness to transform our lives and the lives of those around us. Let us embody the spirit of kindness in all that we do, and watch as the world around us becomes a brighter, more compassionate place.
