Whatever you’re feeling, someone else has felt it. Whatever you’re going through, someone else has gone through it.However, most of us end up feelings alone in our pain and suffering. For you see, that most of us have been taught to hide those painful, fearful parts of ourselves so that we can appear strong and together. However, in doing we miss an important opportunity to connect with other human beings and that in truth is what we are all always seeking. In fact, it is through empathy for yourself can you begin to recognize that you are connected to everything and to everyone-we are indeed one. And, it is also just as important to have empathy for others. Whatever someone else is going through, or has gone through, someday you may too. Anything can happen to anyone at any time. Today, consciously choose to have empathy for yourself and for others, which will make you feel more connected to the world. Since you and I are connected, together we can heal, we can thrive and we all can discover new ways of being. “In separateness lies the world’s great misery, in compassion lies the world’s true strength.” Today, choose compassion, choose empathy, choose love.

Just for today, I am gentle, kind and comforting to myself as I uncover and release old negative messages within me. I am forgiving, gentle, loving and kind. I feel empathy towards myself and others. I know that everyone is doing the best they can with the knowledge, understanding and awareness that they have right now. I am safe and I am interconnected with everyone on this planet. We are one and all is truly well in our world. And so it is.
