Today is the 16th day of the Omer “Gevurah Shebe Tiferet” (Discipline in compassion).
“For compassion to be effective and healthy it needs to be disciplined and focused.” (Rabbi Simon Jacobson)
Compassion is not only with others it also has to start with us.
When we know that certain things we do are damaging to us we have to start by exercising our Gevurah and put boundaries with those things or people that harm us. We need to be courageous and strong and not give in. For this to be effective we also need to feel compassion for our souls which will help us achieve what we need to achieve.
Try today to listen to your soul and see what it’s needs are, feel for it and try to change something in your life that will connect you a little more to your true self.
