This resonates. We cannot give what we do not have. I cannot be compassionate with other until I’ve been compassionate with myself. I understood this at a point in my spiritual journey and my mantra was “warts and all”. I accept myself warts and all. That helped me soften and melt away the stresses of perfectionism and a desire for external validation. It’s so freeing.
