Most of us have heard of “The Golden Rule” when we were in elementary school.
“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”
It’s quite simple: treat others how you want to be treated.
We want it to be a natural instinct for us.
What if we treat ourselves poorly, with our negative self-talk?
We would never allow anyone to treat us the way we treat ourselves,
…If that were the case.
We can take our compassion towards others to the next level
By following “The Platinum Rule.”
“Treat others the way they want to be treated.”
Imagine yourself guiding a blindfolded person through an obstacle course.
The Golden Rule is applied as you telling them how you would complete the course.
The Platinum rule is applied by asking them:
“How do you want to be led?”
