COMPASSION - How can you respond "at the highest energetic level" when someone is frustrating you? Being unresourceful? Hurting you? Being difficult or pissing you off? The answer is.....with "compassion". Compassion is "understanding" and "accepting" where another person is emotionally, mentally, physically or spiritually. And, with greater understanding and acceptance comes greater tolerance. It doesn't mean you love, approve or want to encourage their behavior.

EMPOWERING BELIEF: "People do the best they can with the resources they have."

That belief helps me breed "compassion" with the most challenging individuals. Generally speaking, people aren't walking around all day trying to torment you. They're too busy focusing on their own challenges, living their lives and trying to perform at the best of their abilities. People's fears, limiting beliefs in themselves and others, lack of skill, personal weaknesses, stress and current life circumstances all factor in to how they interact with you and the choices they make in their lives. Instead of "taking another's actions personally", "judging" their behavior or performance, or experiencing the emotions of frustration, hurt or irritation....try on COMPASSION. Compassion isn't about feeling sorry for someone, or holding them as incapable, or never able to change. It's simply understanding and accepting where they are right now in this moment, allowing them to have "their own experience". Compassion allows you to "be with" anything. It's non-judgmental. It's a cousin to the emotion of "love", although it can be generously dished out to strangers, enemies and friends alike. When we offer COMPASSION, we create more fertile ground for those around us to grow and change. When you're in "compassion" offering constructive input, feedback or direction is more readily received. And, it feels better than the myriad of reactive emotions such as frustration, anger, or hurt. SOULFUL CHALLENGE: For the next week, Adopt-the-Emotion of COMPASSION. Use it as often as you can. Try exercising "compassion" with a grumpy spouse, a friend running late, a difficult client or employee, a street bum, the discombobulated waitress, a screaming child, someone who makes a stupid mistake, an elderly lady moving slowly or anyone else that sparks a response of frustration, anger or hurt in you. Realize they are "just being themselves". Notice how it feels to turn on COMPASSION.

Textbook Definition: COMPASSION: The humane quality of understanding the suffering of others and wanting to do something about it. Granted to an individual because of an emergency or other unusual circumstances. Synonym - HUMANE - Characterized by kindness, mercy, or compassion. Marked by an emphasis on humanistic values and concerns. KIND; SYMPATHETIC; BENEVOLENT; MILD; GENTLE; TENDER; MERCIFUL.

A few weeks ago I shared a Magic Moment about listening to a band at Taste of Newport. Well, I've got one to top it..... Last Thursday, a friend invited me to a concert on Alcatraz Island. Every aspect of the trip was magical in anticipation of this landmark event (the FIRST, and perhaps only concert held on the island!). 1490 people were transported across the Bay. After nearly an hour wait, we walked into the venue on the south side of small historic island. An abundance of food and drink warmed us on the brisk evening. We gazed at the band surrounded by flowing silk canopy with the San Francisco skyline as the backdrop!!! Listening to the band Wallflower & Creed was secondary to feeling the excitement and energy of every person on the island....the band members performing & taking in the crowd, the guests, the guards, and the creator's of the event (who spent a year making it a reality). And, behind us giant lights lit up "The Rock"....the historic, dilapidated prison, which loomed overhead. As if our body's cells weren't already tingling in full capacity.....we ventured over to the VIP area (yes...VIP too!). About 20 feet further was an open space with a rail. As we walked down the path and peered out, we nearly burst into tears at the stunning beauty....the clear skyline & city lights of San Francisco, the moon's reflection on the water, a view of both the Golden Gate and Bay Bridges......the high energy music played, while the crisp cool air brought the final magical element to this unique emotional moment in time. Truly breathtaking! Not a bad way to enjoy a glass of wine on a Thursday evening, eh?
