There is a heart that beats within every single one of us.
Compassion calls the heart of the matter forth in ways that are beyond our human understanding.
How compassion works is a mystery. With behavior-affirming attention, there is a whole range of positive possibilities.
AN IMPORTANT FACT:
Research about the brain reveals that compassionate thoughts literally light up the frontal lobe of a person's brain. (The frontal lobe is where the mind can access solutions.)
When we are resentful or angry, there is no light in that part of the brain, and so we shut down and fail to function well. As soon as we deliberately think compassionate thoughts, this part of the brain lights up, and we can literally go from "impossible" to "possible" in an instant.
Compassion is, after all, a deep awareness of the suffering of another, coupled with the wish to relieve it. It is truly wanting others to be free from suffering. And when we offer this, we have made a difference.
There are times when we think our actions have not made a significant difference - and that can be disheartening. What's important here is to take heart in those moments.
Remembering always that you receive the instant you give and, in that, you can trust you've made a difference in someone's life, because you felt it in your own.
