The Benefits Of Compassion

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Personal Development, Personal Growth

According to Janice Marturano, ‘Compassion allows us to understand the suffering around us as belonging to everyone, and our own suffering as a part of who we are that can be acknowledged and attended to, with kindness and gentleness.’

Suffering is the foundation for success. Nothing happens without discomfort. If you are not willing to make yourself uncomfortable, you are not willing to get what you want.

Whatever it is that you are facing right now in your life, it is part of your journey. Enjoy it!

‘Compassion opens the door to connection between your mind and heart.’

If you want to truly understand where others are coming from, what they have been through, and what they are going through, you need your mind and heart.

‘Compassion practice can also help us form a new relationship with those who are difficult for us.’

People are different. No two human beings are the same. If you want to get along with those who are difficult for you, you must find a way to connect with them.

Why We Need Mindful Leaders

‘A mindful leader embodies leadership presence by cultivating focus, clarity, creativity, and compassion in the service of others.

Leadership presence is a tangible quality. It requires full and complete non judgmental attention in the present moment. Those around a mindful see and feel that presence.’- Janice Marturano

We need mindful leaders because they know what we are going through in life. They know how to connect with people. They are not just leading people. They are also leading themselves. They know when to act. They know when to respond. They don’t react to things. Instead, mindful leaders respond to things.

Above all, mindful leaders know where they are going. And they know when to say, ‘enough is enough.’
