Find the compassion and kindness in your soul
continued from page 2
Charity begins at home: Another old saying that resonates with the way we treat others. The love, understanding and compassion we generate in our own home can protect our families from the negativity of the outside world. Obviously children need boundaries and to be respectful, as do partners and other family members. However, find the compassion in your heart when your partner's had a bad day and you feel a bit hard done by yourself. Give them a hug and say something loving. Allow your children a second chance to show they can behave better when they've overstepped the mark.

Give your precious time: That said, it's important to reach out to those more in need than you and give your time to a charitable organisation or project. Even if once a month you can give some time to a local organisation, or help raise money for a national charity, not only do they benefit, but you benefit by learning about other's needs.
Find your haven: Listen to your heart and understand your own needs. When you need a little time just to relax or escape, find the place that's your very own haven from the world.
