In return, we are treated the same way, because what we give to others often comes back to us. Predictably, the question of empathy experiences a renaissance whenever those in the public eye shine a light on the shadow side of power. But we bandy about the term empathy as if its meaning is obvious, like understanding the feelings of another person or walking in their shoes. Because, of course, we must quantify empathy to give it the gravitas it achingly deserves.

Shut Down Your Inner Critic
Intention — it is not the outward appearance of an action that matters, it is the intention behind it that tells us its true value. Mindfulness — a kind mind is aware of three things, itself, others and context. It operates from a position of sensitivity bearing these three things in mind. A kind mind is a generous and a just mind, which treads carefully on the planet and through the lives of others. Action — the kind mind is thoughtful and reflective and so when it comes into action it seeks to cause no harm. It creates an atmosphere of peace, love and warmth wherever it goes. Such a mind realises the power and consequences of its actions so it always strives to act with its conscience intact.
