To Be Compassionate, Be Present

Your undivided attention makes communication easier.
Warmth,  trust, power, and passion cannot happen without presence.
Your spirit can’t fake passion.  Your voice and body will alert the world.

To be compassionate,  be present.  Be with the person you are talking to, not just physically but mindfully. 

Compassion says “I care.”

When you are not fully present, even if you try your best to pretend you are, it shows. There is really no way to hide it. When your mind is elsewhere and you are mulling over your to do list while feigning attentiveness to the person who is speaking to you, your facial expressions will be slightly delayed. Even though you are looking directly into the eyes of the other person,  your eyes might even glaze over.

*If you want to be effective in your communication,  be the person who is present*
