The Secret to Feeling Genuine Compassion

“If we really want to practice compassion, we have to start setting boundaries and holding people accountable.” Now that’s a strange thought: in order to feel genuine compassion for others, we have to outline for them the ways we need to be treated.

Why? Because it’s almost impossible to feel compassion or acceptance for people who mistreat us, regardless of how outwardly kind we are to them. New York Times best-selling author Brené Brown explains all the blessings and absolute necessities to setting good boundaries in this excerpt from The Gifts of Imperfection.
