Living compassionately means:
actively & deliberately choosing a reordering of one’s actions and perceptions. It’s a deliberate shift of thoughts from judgement, worry, comparisons, competition, concern, scarcity and fear to expressions and thoughts of appreciation, awe, kindness, care, love, abundance, generosity, joy & presence.
Target:
To increase the flow of compassion in the world by having at least 10 million people intentionally living compassionately day by day – not just in times of extreme trauma and disaster.
This wave of compassion starts with me & you. It spreads to every corner of the globe & by the 7th of July 2011 we will have inspired over 10 million people to do life a little differently… compassionately.
Can you get some impression of this? 10 million people practicing compassion as they go about their day, each & every day from now on… I can! WOW
Why live compassionately?
It restores (y)our own being (self) and creates the space for others to feel acknowledged, appreciated and experience the feelings of acceptance and love.
It will also enhance the opportunity to shift us into the state of acceptance of all that is. All that is, is all that is, no-thing right & no-thing wrong. There will be no need for us to question, clarify, categorise or label any-thing, unless we want to deliberately add some meaning to what’s unravelling and being presented before you.
Whatever is happening before you is an opportunity for integration, a lesson, an insight to bring you into perfect balance and harmony within… where peace, love, joy, appreciation and humility reside.
The rewards for living compassionately:
The rewards for living in and sharing compassion for each & every one of us includes at the very least it’s a shift in consciousness in how we co-create this world. You’ll notice a quieter mind, joyful living, an empowered spirit, life will flow more easiy for you and those around you, you’ll experience an improvement in wellbeing, the ability to change your viewpoints, insights that will lead to inner wisdom, and you’ll enjoy an increase in personal responsibility with the ability to live your life more deliberately.
Tips for compassionate living commitment:
Tip 1. Create your own personal intention to live compassionately, honouring everyone and everything (eg. I am in awe of everything around me as I live compassionately, and inspire others to do the same). Create it as an intention that originates from your heart and is in alignment with your best intentions for what you want for the world eg. Peace, love, joy and abundance
Tip 2. Write your intention on a card and keep it with you – in your wallet, in your diary, your car, pocket, or briefcase.
Tip 3. Place reminders to be compassionate in very visible places (eg. on the fridge, mirror, your desk, diary, vision board etc) – it may be your intention, it may be the word compassion, a symbol or picture you associate with compassion.
Tip 4. Create a list of actions that are perfect for you. This will be the start of the positive habits to help you stay deliberate. (eg. When I have the desire to interrupt someone while they are speaking, I take a deep breath and appreciate the person speaking; when I am feeling frustrated, annoyed or overwhelmed I appreciate these feelings and am grateful for the ability to feel them and I will let them flow through me; I smile deliberately & make an effort to experience happiness in all situations; I am always kind and respectful to myself and others)
Tip 5. Notice yourself being deliberately compassionate throughout your day. You’ll know when your being successful as you’ll naturally “feel better” about yourself and everybody else.
Tip 6. Appreciate and acknowledge yourself and everybody else for acting compassionately and deliberately creating peace and harmony in your own life and the world. Do this each morning when you wake and again as your go to sleep.
Tip 7. Acknowledge others when they display compassion – you can pass them the card which appears in our notes section… or you can create your own. Our card “Your compassion is visible and palpable. Thank you for being that way and inspiring others to do the same”
Tip 8. Practice the Avatar® compassion exercise as often as you can, make it at least a daily habit. If you’d like to share these beautiful cards you can purchase them in packs of 50 for $5 in many different languages. See website details below
Tip 9. Share this page with everyone possible… your friends, family, colleagues, business associates, media contacts, groups and networks. Share your personal intentions, inspiring projects, poems, artworks, videos, pictures etc on this site.
Tip 10. Enjoy the beauty that unfolds around you as you live compassionately and share your experiences here on this page, on your own blogs, pages and websites, with the media and in the dialogue you have with people you encounter on your travels… the journey of a blessed and satisfying life starts with your deliberate action to live compassionately and share it boldly.
