PONDER on THIS for Wednesday, October 24th, 2007 by Richard Carlson, PH.D. in DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF

"Nothing helps us build our perspective more than developing compassion for others. Compassion is a sympathetic feeling. It involves the willingness to put yourself in someone else's shoes, to take the focus off yourself and to imagine what it's like to be in someone else's predicament, and simultaneously, to feel love for that person. It's the recognition that other people's problems, their pain and frustrations, are every bit as real as our own—often far worse. in recognizing this fact and trying to offer some assistance, we open our hearts and greatly enhance our sense of gratitude."
Richard Carlson, PH.D., in “Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff”
