“For some people the idea of compassion entails a complete disregard for or even a sacrifice of their own interests. This is not the case. In fact, we first of all have to have a wish to be happy ourselves – if we don’t love ourselves like that, how can we love others?”
His Holiness the great 14th Dalai Lama

How true!
I have been reminded of this often.
