Lessons learnt
Here are 5 of my 21 lessons that guide my interactions in life.
- Test the waters of friendship before you swim in them. Some are too shallow for the volume of your essence and some are too deep for the volume of your compassion and may swallow you whole.
- Do not belittle your struggle and do not mock others of theirs.
- You’re not entitled to everyone’s help except yours.
- No one person can understand you, nor should they. The chapters of your life are only fully disclosed to the One Who created you.
- Encompass all in your kindness, especially yourself. Do this every day.
Philosophy of life
Live with Kindness knowing the Most Compassionate responds with Mercy and Grace.
