Learn to have compassion for yourself. This is likely really important to start with this even though many people learn to be kind to others before being kind and compassionate to themselves.
Why is this number 1 in importance if you want to stay alive?
It's because often we are put down as children and we cannot get beyond these put downs and so then we get angry to deal with being put down instead of realizing each of us is sacred and special in the eyes of God.
If you are Sacred and Special in the Eyes of God then you should be Sacred and special in your own eyes too.
If you cannot love yourself how can you expect anyone else to love you?
So, learn compassion for yourself as you learn compassion for others.
What made me compassionate at a very young age is getting whooping cough. Before this I was very intense very difficult at times for my parents to deal with. I pushed my little girlfriend down cement steps when I was 2 or 3 years old and my grandfather paddled my beyind then around 1950 or 1951.
But, when I got whooping cough and almost died and was turning blue from not enough air all the time I changed my tune. I didn't want anyone else (friend or enemy or relative or anyone I knew to suffer like I had in whooping cough. Then the Archangels came and saved my life so I knew God wanted me to be alive. If they hadn't come for me I would have surely died. I knew that even then that God wanted me to be alive likely for a long time so I granted God his wish for me.
And then I had become compassionate after Whooping cough at age 2 or 3 years old. I was always helping people whenever I could the rest of my life after this. Was I a perfect angel all the time. No. I jumped off of roofs and jumped my bike over curbs and once when my mother told me I couldn't do what I wanted to
I got mad and I had a basketball in my hands and I bounced it as hard as I could and it went up and broke the chandelier which came down on my mother's favorite possession which was a black Walnut dining room table. I felt awful I had destroyed the finish on the table. I was really feeling sorry I did that. So, she bought a cover so you couldn't see what the broken chandelier did to the table so we still had the table but we never left it bare after that which was sort of sad.
Then since I was always intense but also quiet and good natured I was always helping friends with their
problems whenever I could. Girls especially were amazed that I would listen to them because many boys and men then considered women silly and that you shouldn't listen to them.
However, my mother and my Scottish Grandmother who spoke with a Scottish Brogue were very good and kind to me so I deeply loved and respected all women because my mother and grandmother were so good to me. So, I unlike many others loved and respected women deeply.
So, since I was a very logical and kind and pragmatic kind of person I helped both boys and girls with their problems because that was always very easy for me because I was intelligent, calm, practical and pragmatic helping people solve their problems all around me.
So, especially girls in junior High, High School and College girls often reached out to me because I would actually listen to them carefully so I became quite in demand usually because I was always a gentleman and mannerly and helpful to women and girls I met.
So, being kind and helpful to women they also were always kind and helpful to me as well which is one of the reasons I'm still alive today at age 78.
By God's Grace
