Why is it easier to be kind to a friend whom you respect so much than to "be kind to yourself"?

If you are not *'your own cup of tea'*, who else will be? ☕

Bottom line, no one else will love or care about you unless you start with YOU!

I think most of the people, including myself, don't know how to be kind to themselves. Where does it start, where does it end?

Being kind to others doesn't take that much most of the time, and I find that it comes back to me. So being kind to others is part of being kind to myself.

you couldn't show compassion to others unless you have compassion to one's self. The note refers to specifics on how you treat yourself when you are in a dire situation. Eg. Do you resent yourself or do you self attact, regret or compassion or self-critic. Do you hate yourslef? It starts by this situation that you ask yourself, how would I advice a friend if my situation happened to them? By treating yourself the way you treat a true friend is a start. Btw, there is no straight answers, all of these take a lot of practice. ❤️

Reflection of imperfection hurts when face with self represenstation but to embrace another is easier because hope plays into the fray that if another accepts you as you are only then may you be content with who you are?

We all want to be complimented by someone & people are lost in this world. People give up & stop caring it happens eventually the world may become a majority of this. The real question is when does someone extend their kindness to lift someone up?

Everybody is capable of entering a pit of despair & when your own sight isn't enough I pray someone is there for you to help you in that moment.
