"If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion."
I cultivate kindness toward myself, especially in moments of difficulty.
I recognize my fundamental worthiness.
Practice the loving-kindness meditation: 'May I be happy. May I be healthy. May I be safe. May I live with ease.' Then extend these wishes to others.
How does it feel to wish yourself well? How does it feel to extend these wishes to someone difficult?
