Compassion

The power of unconditional love is just that... powerful. It takes a lot to say that you will honor, respect, and appreciate someone for who they are, but not "despite" any traits they may have, but rather, just for being.

We often take for granted that our family and close friends are there for us not because they have to be, but because they want to be. After talking with one of my girlfriends today I thought some more about what it means to really be able to be part of someones life and have them cheering you on at the sidelines all the time. It's unbelievable how for a simple word of kindness or a smile can go. So, why chose not to make someones day, when you so easily can?

Choose compassion.

On the note of compassion, this initiative is fantastic. Beyond inspiring- I'm excited to see where it goes. http://charterforcompassion.com/
