The Golden Rule of Self-Care and Compassion

"Therefore all things whatsoever you would that men would do to you, do you even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets" Matthew 7:12

"Do not to others what you would not want done to yourself." Confucius

This is the Golden Rule.  Do onto others what you would want done to yourself.

It is a logical and moral counterpart to this that you should expect of yourself what you would expect of others towards you, but to give yourself the same mercy that you would give others!

So take it easy on yourself!

Give yourself the same breaks you would give others!

This is the Golden Rule of Self-Care and Compassion!

You can care for yourself and still have compassion for others!

So go ahead!

Give yourself the same breaks you would give your best friend!

And this will help you be strong so that you can be compassionate and strong for others!

God loves you!

Sincerely,

David S. Annderson
