The practice of self-compassion allows an individual to maintain a growth mindset in the face of struggle and failure (Cook-Cottone 2015b; Neff 2011) and may play a role in self-regulation (Iskender and Akin 2011; Van Vliet and Kalnins 2011; Vettese et al. 2011)... Further, a sense of purpose or mission may function like a spiritual, long-term goal (Cook-Cottone 2015b; Norcross and Guy 2007; Sayrs 2012). That is, purpose can be a source of strength and meaning during the difficult and challenging times, giving an individual a reason to pick him or herself up by the proverbial bootstraps and persevere (Norcross and Guy 2007).
