What does success have to do with being a compassionate person? The answer is a lot. Moreover, when you think of someone who is compassionate, do you associate it with someone who has a martyr/victim personality? Most folks associate compassionate people as soft or weak.

However, compassionate people have an amazing superpower — they know how to use compassion as a strength and not a weakness. Here are a few habits of highly compassionate people.

They do not Take Things Personally

People who emulate compassion both to themselves and for others, have learned the art of not taking things personally. They know when a mistake happens, that is simply a fact — a mistake happened. However, they do not focus on how much of a failure they are, how ignorant they feel. They simply focus on the problem and do not internalize it as being about themselves. This allows them to take the next step.

The Move Forward Quickly and Rebound

Since compassionate people practice self-compassion as well as compassion for others, they can move forward quickly. They do not make the problem, mistake, or situation about them.

There is less ruminating, worrying, and talking about problems. Additionally, there is more of a focus on moving forward and coming up with creative solutions.
