A few words of wisdom from Jack Kornfield:

When genuine compassion and wisdom come together, we honor, love, praise, and include both ourselves and others. Instead of holding the ideal that we should be able to give endlessly with compassion for all beings “except me,” we find compassion for all beings including ourselves. The separation of self and others melts away. –Jack Kornfield, “A Path with Heart“
