Compassion Starts With Little Me

She Is Trying SO hard to get it right

Please Watch the above (very short) video. 

This is me, trying SO hard to "get it right". I am completely innocent! This is a wonderful realization for me. To have compassion for my conditioned self. That innocently looked around and compared myself with others, tried to make my body contort to the expectations. Those expectations that started out from others (parents, teachers, friends) but soon morphed into my own expectation.
I look at this little girl and see myself, trying SO hard to  "get it right", and she is missing out on the Dance!!!
But isn't she precious? In her sincerity to conform? So innocent, so precious, SO FUNNY. I can have compassion for that part of myself and laugh at it too.
