#wisdomwednesday Expectations in relationships are a good thing: we should want kindness, loyalty, consideration, respect, and reasonableness. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
#wisdomwednesday A narcissist is defensive because they hear most feedback as an attack. Their ego is too fragile to tolerate anything that could seem like a challenge. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
I’ll take kind over nice any time night or day.

#wisdomwednesday A bully uses threats, intimidation, and coercion to serve their own interests. A leader inspires, encourages, and uplifts to motivate others to accomplish important things. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
#wisdomwednesday Having healthy boundaries doesn’t make you a mean person. It makes you someone who is safe. Never feel bad about your boundaries. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind

#wisdomwednesday Empathy is not weakness. It’s not a character flaw. It’s our best quality. People with antisocial personality disorder lack empathy. Sociopaths lack empathy. That’s not who we want to be. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
#wisdomwednesday Empathy is not weakness. It’s strength. We have to be strong to understand what another person is feeling and to care about them. Empathy builds connections, decreases polarization, and heals the world. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind

#wisdomwednesday When someone gives you a sincere compliment it’s a gift for both of you: you receive the affirmation which makes you feel good, and they get the opportunity to show you kindness, which makes them feel good. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind

#wisdomwednesday A good parent is there for their kids without smothering them or over-protecting them. Kids need to learn how to be independent and self-reliant. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
#wisdomwednesday When someone tries to rush you into a relationship, beware. When they push you too fast, they don’t give you the time to tune in to your feelings or needs, so you’re destabilized and can’t make a conscious, informed choice. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
#wisdomwednesday Loving parents set their children up to be self-sufficient, successful, and capable of meaningful relationships. Selfish parents set their children up to be people-pleasers, starting with them. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
#wisdomwednesday Being a people-pleaser backfires because you inevitably attract users who are incapable of loving you or seeing your true value. Instead, they recognize your insecurities and feel empowered to take advantage of you or mistreat you. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
#wisdomwednesday You know your family member is toxic when they always make you feel inadequate and like you have to earn their approval. Positive family members make you feel good about yourself and like you’re loved unconditionally. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
#wisdomwednesday There’s a big difference between being judgemental and having good judgment. The former is being unreasonably critical; the latter is facing the truth about reality and then making the appropriate choices. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
#wisdomwednesday If someone’s behaviour shows you that they don’t care about your needs and feelings, you don’t negotiate with them. You leave. Negotiations are only effective if the other person cares about what you’re saying. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
#wisdomwednesday The narcissist makes you feel guilty for having an appropriate (negative) reaction to their bad behaviour. In fact, your reaction is sane and they’re trying to make you crazy. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind

#wisdomwednesday Today, more than ever, we need compassion, empathy, and tolerance. We can heal the world, one act of kindness at a time. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
#wisdomwednesday Being kind doesn’t mean tolerating abuse or disrespect. It means being caring and thoughtful, while having good boundaries. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
#wisdomwednesday Happiness doesn’t come from money, power, or influence. It comes from connection and belonging. Let’s not waste our lives chasing happiness in the wrong places. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
#wisdomwednesday When you stand up for yourself, you can only win. Either the people who are unkind will leave you alone or they’ll realize that they need to treat you well. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
#wisdomwednesday Art is uplifting and inspiring. Whether you’re observing or practicing, art is deeply nourishing. #ruthlesscompassion #kindvsnice #befiercelykind
