Self-compassion in my view would mean the ability to see and nurture one’s own goodness and share that goodness with others to make the world around more beautiful.

Thank you. What are some ways of nurturing and sharing that you recommend to others?

Your tree words - mystry, love, gratutude - describe a humane approach to our lives on earth. We will never know all answers to all complex questions, but already know some answers to some questionns. The key are the other two words. All three words are the cornerstone of a purposeful life.

Thank you for your helpful comment, Shabbir. You may recall that those three words are in the the subtitle of my autobiography. Grateful for your generous life. Best wishes to you and yours.

What are your views about self compassion? How can we do this?

Thank you for your question, Fayyaz! I would like to hear from you on this. As for me, I find there are many ways to care for oneself including mindfulness practice, sufficient sleep, healthy food, walking and exercise, being with family and friends, being in nature, caring for others, reading, journal writing, and much more. What are your thoughts?
