Daily Inspirational Quote June 11 2014
“When you are aware of your pain and suffering, it helps you to develop your capacity for empathy,
the capacity which allows you to relate to other people’s feelings and sufferings.
This enhances your capacity for compassion towards others.”
- His Holiness the Dalai Lama
I believe that many of us in “helping professions” walk through certain trials because it empowers us to help others later. Even if this is not the cause, the result is the same. The more challenges and struggles we overcome, the more wisdom and power we develop to guide and support folks who find themselves on similar paths. Instead of bemoaning our fate, we might consider some of life’s challenges to be part of our training as spiritual workers in the world.
