Although you may try to live a compassionate life, it may not be so easy. Many would say that life gets in the way and though they try to be compassionate to others, it is difficult. We agree that it is challenging when you are reacting to others. You are like a mirror, reflecting what is being directed at you. But what if you were to take the mirror down and face others as yourself. Creating a strong foundation for yourself, you will be able to with stand any negativity that comes your way. It is not enough to live a compassionate life, but to be compassionate every day. For you are blessed with only this day. You never know what tomorrow will bring. Being a compassionate person is not difficult, when you remember that it comes from within. You do not have to fake it, if this is who you truly are.
Just smile and everyone will love you...
(When I was younger, I would try to please others because I thought it would avoid conflict. But it wasn't always the best thing to do, for them or myself. I've since learned that to truly help others, the best thing to do is to listen. Listening to others and accepting them for who they are is a practice in compassion.)
