Compassion

This morning in Nashville, TN; I had an opportunity to attend a Creative Mornings monthly meeting. The speaker was Nick Laparra, who shared his conviction on leaving a legacy through compassion for those less fortunate. He challenged the attenders to consider if each of us have too much going on and lives too full of good things that we overlook those around us that need a little help, assistance, and compassion.

It is our own default mechanism to focus on ourselves and our own needs. We keep busy achieving goals, paying the debt for things; some necessary and some just personal; while those around us that have so little or struggle everyday. We become blind to their existence and don’t slow down long enough to consider if we need to help our communities where we can and as we can.
