No Frontiers

When we better understand ourselves, our ability to appreciate the lived experience of someone else is all that much easier. With the ease of a newfound understanding, we galvanize greater compassion and less hate.

Being mindfully present and engaging in hard conversations is a choice that can be challenging. Still, simple acts of humanity, such as saying hello, smiling, and acknowledging someone by name, creates a connection that fosters greater compassion and less hate.

The effort to quiet our mind is akin to the practice of empathy - to find ourselves, we must first think beyond ourselves.
