Loving what is

 
How can we live with compassion in a world that is fragile and precious, and at the same time, challenging? How do we keep a good attitude when we step on the land mines? When we experience the pitfalls? We do it by becoming skilled at seeing everything as a lesson of the heart rather than labeling our experiences as good or bad, right or wrong. Judgment blocks our natural ability to love others unconditionally. We judge because we're afraid. How do we overcome fear? By taking the time to offer comfort and compassion to ourselves. When the fear has quieted, our perception will shift.
