yes..i learned i have to have compasion for myself as well as otheres....I am a part of the whole...if that makes sense....i use to see myself as seperate from the world around me...so while being compasionate and understanding of others was obviuos to me as spritual growth...i didnt' get the concept that we are all interconnected and therefore me being mean to me was me being mean to the whole.
I want to be comfortable enough with who i am to share it with the world....like genius said...I keep thinking i have to change me to share myself with others.....but really, as popey says...i am who i am, and who i will be tomarrow or one minite from now will be different....Mindfulness practice can help me to be more comfortable in my own skin....this of course requires some effort on my part .....
