Compassionate people have an amazing superpower and know how to use compassion as a strength and not a weakness. This allows them to be empathetic with others. Here are the three most powerful keys of excellent compassion: not taking things personally, moving forward quickly, and coming up with solutions. Let’s look at each one.
1. Not Taking Things Personally
People who emulate compassion both to themselves and for others, have learned the art of not taking things personally. It is simply a fact: mistakes happen. Compassionate people focus on the issue, rather than on feelings of failure or embarrassment. This allows them to take the next step.
2. Moving Forward Quickly
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. There is more of a focus on moving forward and coming up with creative solutions.
3. Coming up with Solutions
Compassionate people come up with creative solutions to difficult problems. These talented people have an amazing superpower because they know how to use empathy as a strength and not a weakness. Empathy means that they can feel what it is like for someone else to experience pain, almost as if they were experiencing it. This offers them an amazing vantage point to problem solving.
A compassionate person can see and feel into others pain points.
This offers them an advantage. They can help others with solving problems. This one quality has many benefits:
- In relationships, compassionate people can empathize with others and are better able to problem solve.
- In business, compassionate people can feel their client’s pain points, communicate with empathy, and help them find creative solutions.
- Socially, compassionate people invite others to be vulnerable due to their trustworthy and empathic qualities.
- Compassionate people have a superpower in being able to listen effectively to what people are saying and even what they are holding back on, as well.

This enables them to feel, see, and hear what others are experiencing. “Compassion is not the same as empathy , though the concepts are related. While empathy refers more generally to our ability to take the perspective of and feel the emotions of another person, compassion is when those feelings and thoughts include the desire to help”.

Because compassion is an attractive quality, compassionate people attract people who need their gifts, skills, and talents. This gives them an opportunity to not only succeed, but to excel in personal relationships as well as in business settings.
The personality trait of being compassionate is not one of weakness. It is one of personal strength. Maintaining a balance between compassion and having strong boundaries is a winning combination.
