I-imperfect

• not perfect; faulty or incomplete

We are all perfect in an imperfect way. I enjoyed discovering what others may call “flaws” this year. I delighted in uncovering them and loving them. Its the deeper part of self-acceptance. This journey repaired that empathy chip, showed me what is tangible and essential. The way i love my imperfections overflows into my everyday. I can spread love because i am love 😘

T-tangible

• perceptible by touch

Grasping the concept of tangibility was the most difficult for me. I had to stop reasoning away the aggressions of others and stop rationalizing the mistreatments. I had to stop listening to those that would normalize the acceptance of abuse that occurs in love relationships. I had to trust my conscience to find tangible love for myself and love to share. When I put away those rose colored glasses and delusions I created, I was able to step into real love and self acceptance. Learning the definition of real motivated me to adjust my octagon to a circle. To appreciate tangible emotions I had to be selfless in displaying them. 😘

Empathy

E- empathy

• the ability to understand and share the feelings of another

With the new outlook on respect, i also upgraded my empathy chip. I no longer feel as selfish and self-centered as before. I can not observe disarray and not insert myself. I carry the experiences of others throughout my day, in order to enhance their lives with compassion. When i incorporate empathy, motivation overwhelms, ideas spark.
How have you utilized compassion or empathy?
