Self Absorbed

We get so self absorbed and make everything just about us — our troubles, our losses, what we want, what we need, and what we didn’t get. The fact is that it is not always about us.  That there are others with more pressing needs that need our energy, our empathy and our kindness.  

Focusing on others helps alleviate myopia so we get to see the world in a different light, and through a very different lens. We must learn to give, and do for others.  It is more satisfying than one can ever imagine.
