I love this. Its so true. You should be the most caring, nurturing and forgiving to yourself first, not just because you will take care of yourself better than anyone else can, but so you can also be in a good place to help others to a certain extent too.

I know very compassionate and sensitive people tend to not want to see others in pain, but very often in wanting to alleviate other peoples' pain they create more for themselves.
