COMPASSIONATE HUMILITY

Written By Duane Nelson


2 IDEAS FROM ME

  • Compassionate humility is the empathy, wisdom, and love to anonymously prioritize human need above personal righteousness and recognition.  Doing so turns everyday encounters into sacred moments.

  • Humility converts a spiritually hollow journey into authentic service and allows us to accept apparent loss in service of a greater good.

2 QUOTES FROM SAGES

  • “Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”—Mark Twain

  • “Love is the only rational and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.”—Leo Tolstoy

1 QUESTION FOR YOU TO EXPLORE

Namaste,
