Some dream of starting a business. Others dream of travelling the world, writing a book, finding love, helping others, or simply living with peace of mind. Dreams rarely disappear. More often, they get buried beneath fear, doubt, comfort, or the belief that it's too late. But what if your dream hasn't given up on you? What if it's still waiting for you to take the first step? Dreams don't become reality overnight. They become reality one decision, one step, and one day at...]]></description><link>https://www.compassio.life/post/what-s-your-dream</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a561625634028a56f49957a</guid><pubDate>Tue, 14 Jul 2026 11:03:47 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Jean Serre</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[When Results Are Slow, Purpose Matters]]></title><description><![CDATA[When I started Compassio, I knew it wouldn't become an overnight success. At least, that's what I told myself. But knowing something and living it are two different things. There are days when enthusiasm is high, ideas seem endless, and the future seems exciting. There are other days when you wonder if anyone is listening. Building something meaningful requires patience. That's true whether you're creating a business, rebuilding your life, or simply becoming a better person. I didn't create...]]></description><link>https://www.compassio.life/post/when-results-are-slow-purpose-matters</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a4bf920f7b480551f15fa93</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2026 19:10:03 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Jean Serre</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Self-Belief]]></title><description><![CDATA[I've been striving to have self-belief for as long as I can remember. Unforturnately it was never ingrained into me by my parents growing up. Some kids are lucky to have parents who care enough to pass on the right lessons and beliefs to their children, but others are less for- tunate. Coming from an alcoholic household, it was only the necessities that mattered. I always wanted to believe in myself. I bought all the books, listened to all the tapes. But deep down, I didn't feel worthy or...]]></description><link>https://www.compassio.life/post/self-belief</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a3aafdbb740a019c39b48b2</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Jun 2026 16:30:45 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Jean Serre</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Compassion Is Strength ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Many people see compassion as a weakness. I see it differently. Compassion takes courage. It takes strength to care when it would be easier not to. It takes strength to stand up to those who cannot stand up for themselves. In a world of hyper-masculinity, compassion is often seen as a weaknes. I see it differtly. Compassion is strength. Many in this world—people, animals, and even the environment— need caring and compassion to thrive. Not everyone can speak for themselves, and this is where...]]></description><link>https://www.compassio.life/post/compassion-is-strength</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a33d8fa217d21f7fb5e734e</guid><pubDate>Thu, 18 Jun 2026 13:02:32 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Jean Serre</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Can People Really Change?]]></title><description><![CDATA[When I look back at my life at 63 years of age, I see someone who went through dark places in my life. I came from a highly dysfunctional alcoholic family. My father struggled with alcoholism and was rarely around for important family gatherings. Unfortunately my mother was so busy trying to keep us clothed, fed and sheltered that we didn't get any positive reinforcement. As I grew up school was a negative force through the years. I never really understand why I was there. I had no interest...]]></description><link>https://www.compassio.life/post/can-people-really-change</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a2ea10ad1a315f3278007ce</guid><pubDate>Sun, 14 Jun 2026 13:28:38 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Jean Serre</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why I Started Compassio ]]></title><description><![CDATA[Compassio began with a simple belief: compassion matters. For many years, I have cared deeply about animals and how way we treat one another. I believe that kindness, integrity, and compassion are not weaknesses. They are strengths. The idea behind Compassio is bigger than clothing, posters, or products. It is about sharing ideas that encourage people to think, reflect, and choose compassion in their daily lives. One of the core values of Compassio is giving a voice to the voiceless. That is...]]></description><link>https://www.compassio.life/post/why-i-started-compassio</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a295901b34d9652f553bd94</guid><pubDate>Wed, 10 Jun 2026 12:45:27 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Jean Serre</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
