Kindness visited me today, not from someone else, but from within. It reminded me of all the grace, patience, and compassion I so easily give to others, yet often withhold from myself. I’ve spent so much time being understanding of everyone else’s mistakes, forgiving their flaws, and cheering them on, but somewhere along the way, I forgot that I deserve that same love. Today, I choose to turn that kindness inward, to remind myself that I am worthy of the same gentleness I offer so freely to the world.
I am learning that self-compassion isn’t selfish; it’s necessary. Just as I uplift others, I must uplift myself. Just as I reassure them, I must remind myself that I am doing my best. Life is hard enough without being my own worst critic. So from now on, I will extend to myself the same warmth I give to others, because I, too, deserve to be cared for, understood, and loved.
