| Level Your Life - [The Level of Compassion][1.75] |
Compassion
When two armies meet, the one with compassion is the
one that tastes victory.
The Warrior understands that compassion ignites one`s
courage to take risks to excel because, regardless of outcomes or results,
compassion will help you to endure hardship and setbacks.
Compassion for self as well as others gives you
permission to fail - not that you would choose such a path. It creates safe,
understanding environments - inner and outer - that encourage you to trust
yourself,your team, your coworkers and friends to continue their efforts in the
face of adversity.
The warrior surges ahead of the pack following
devastating defeats because he performs in a culture of compassion.
The Chinese symbols for compassion depict a generosity
of the heart followed by an active eagerness to participate in the opponent´s
joy as well as sorrow. Whether in victory or defeat ,compassion for self and
others is the key to success in attaining true well-being.
When you win an athletic contest, your Buddha-nature
might ask "How does my opponent feel right now? - to help us keep our
battles in perspective.
Declaration: Rather than be critical of myself or
others, i choose to put my heart on the line and act with compassion and love.
Reflection : In what specific ways and under what
circumstances can I demonstrate compassion to myself and my family,friends and
colleagues. What do I imagine I wll feel as a result of this from-the-heart
approach? What effect could this have on my future performance?
[paraphrased and inspired by Spirit of the Dancing Warrior]
