The final piece of the Thrive Code is all about how we feel about others.  Do we see others as “other” or as connected to us?  Do we use <em><strong>compassion</strong></em> or do we objectify?</p>
<p>I have a built in belief that we are born with compassion.  Babies and children have a natural compassionate response to others in pain.  But many times, people are taught to not have a compassionate response.  We are taught beliefs about why others are having problems.  Often, those beliefs are based in blame and condemnation.</p>
<p>It is no surprise, then, that we are living in a <em>compassion crisis</em>.  Both in terms of compassion for others and self-compassion.</p>
<p>Is there a way back?  Yes!  And it starts with understanding exactly what compassion is, where it comes from, why we lose it, and how we can cultivate it.  Learn more in this episode of the Thriveology Podcast.</p>
