Compassion

You are a jewel
Even though you may not see it
All that you consider to be imperfect
Allows greater light to shine through
Even in darkness you are eternally bright

Kuan Yin is known in Buddhism as the goddess of compassion and mercy. She views all of life with compassion and asks you to be compassionate towards yourself.
She asks you to reflect on the many times that you have critical thoughts about yourself.
Make an effort to replace these negative thoughts with positive and loving ones.
Your spirit lives always in perfection even from the physical plane you may perceive that you are less than perfect.
Perfection exists in all things even though we may not always see it. All is perfect and all is sacred.

Remember that you are simply spirit clothed in matter in this journey of life. From a spiritual perspective, life is a game and its sole object is for you to remember who you truly are.
You are an eternal being and you hold enormous power.
Your mind may see imperfection in many things, yet in reality there is no such thing. The mind is bound by logic and judgment and therefore lacks spiritualawareness and compassion.

What matters to your spirit is not that you strive to perfect your flaws but that you accept them and view everything through compassionate eyes. Compassion sees through all veneers and recognises the beauty in everything. Accept all of who you are and you will begin to see the beauty that surrounds all of life.
Be compassionate towards yourself and you will see all the beauty that you are.
