“true transformation happens when you no longer see the world in an angry, sad or bitter way. You start to perceive what happens to yourself and others with compassion and love. You see the bigger picture, and you are less likely to want to fight, argue, or withdraw. You know that you’re transforming when you see through the illusion, and you feel equanimity when you encounter something that used to upset you. Equanimity is a term Buddhists use when they are connecting compassion and feeling neutral about a situation or event. Equanimity is when you feel love and compassion while in the middle of a chaotic situation.”
