If Your Compassion Is Missing This, You're Doing It Wrong

By Evan Sanders


Find solace in touching your deepest wounds. There you will find yourself. There you will find peace.

It's okay to say "it's not okay."

Because really, as much as we pretend, sometimes it isn't okay.

Putting on a smile to try to convince everyone that you're alright is never that convincing. Everyone can tell. Why not be vulnerable with them and tell them the truth?

Life hurts at times. Even as much as you would probably like to be completely unwoundable, you're not. We are all woundable.

This is what makes us all unique.

That's what makes each of us unique. We suffer in different ways. Experience life in different ways.

But that's beautiful. Because if we were all the same the world would be an incredibly boring place to live in.

But you never get anywhere by being fake. You have to be real. You have to be so real that the world sees you for who you truly are.

Because every time you pretend to be someone you're not, you create chaos within yourself. Your own soul doesn't even recognize the person you are.

So the only way to truly heal is to bring buckets full of love and compassion towards yourself. We are the only ones that can heal our deepest wounds so we must be the ones who take that journey within. Without taking the journey, the wounds will always be left unhealed.

However, if we avoid taking this journey, that's when your deepest suffering continues.

Healing is done when you head straight into the dark. Straight into the shadows of what you're scared of - lantern in hand - willing to shed light onto your fears.

In the end, you find out that the big fear you had was not so big at all. It was a mirage. It was a shadow pretending to be something much greater than it was.

Never worry about heading into the dark...

Because you are the light.

This light will illuminate everything you've ever feared.
