Catalyst
Compassion includes recognizing your own limits and setting boundaries that protect your well-being.
Insight
Compassion does not mean giving endlessly or ignoring your own needs. In fact, true compassion strengthens boundaries, not weakens them. When you practice healthy boundaries, you show yourself the same care and respect you extend to others. This allows your compassion to be sustainable, ensuring that it remains a source of strength rather than exhaustion. Compassion is as much about balance as it is about giving.
Reflection
Are there areas in your life where compassion without boundaries has left you depleted? How can you establish boundaries that support both empathy and balance?
