Compassion and Vigilence

When one is trying to be a better person, I found that it is as pointless to tear yourself up as is it to lie to yourself, saying you're doing fine. Just as I attempt to be compassionate to others, I must remind myself that I am worthy of my own compassion. Without compassion, there is no room for growth.

Vigilence balances out compassion, keeps me from forgetting my goals. The task of juggling virtues, once a real challenge, becomes easier each day. May it continue that way.
