October 16

REFLECTION FOR TODAY

Because I was so impatient and critical of myself, gaining compassion was not an easy task. Now as I talk kindly to myself instead of critically, I gain more and more compassion for myself. When I am gentle with myself, I feel peace inside, even in the midst of turmoil. When I am gentle with myself, I become more gentle with others. It is this gentleness and caring, not impatience and criticism, which brings about continued growth and healing.

MEDITATION FOR TODAY

When I resist being kind to myself, may I recall that compassion precedes growth.

TODAY I WILL REMEMBER

I no longer need to hate me.
