Kindness toward others and radical kindness to ourselves buy us a shot at a warm and generous heart, which is the greatest prize of all.
In her book "Hallelujah Anyway: Rediscovering Mercy," Anne Lamott emphasizes the importance of kindness, both towards others and ourselves. She suggests that when we practice kindness, we open the door to developing a warm and generous heart. This inner warmth is seen as an invaluable treasure that enriches our lives and the lives of those around us.
Lamott highlights that radical kindness, especially towards oneself, is essential for cultivating compassion and understanding. By being gentle and forgiving to ourselves, we create a foundation for extending that same generosity to others, ultimately leading to a more compassionate and connected existence.
