Turning Outward....

It's a bit rubbish at the moment, and our natural tendency is to turn inward, to focus on our own challenges, to think about what we’re missing, and to compare ourselves to others (with the inevitable unhappiness and frustration that usually brings).

But what if we turned outward instead - looking for opportunities to be kind and compassionate to others, trying to help with other’s problems and challenges, and expressing gratitude for what we already have. At worst we’ll feel the same, but in bringing a bit of light into someone else’s life, we might just bring a little joy into our own too…
