Become Bigger Than Yourself

While doing good things for yourself and trying not to hurt yourself too much, you should also look beyond yourself. Unfortunately, since we really don't trust ourselves, we are very rarely kind to ourselves.

Self-kindness is such an important place to begin with, but there is more, what can you do that is kind and loving to others as well? Would you see their worries, sense their pain and suffering, and be greater than your self-concern, and serve them as well? This doesn't exclude taking care of yourself, but it means that after you take care of yourself, you can look at something bigger. That's where you're going to find the most meaning. And that's where you're going to feel the most motivation to get things done, because doing something greater than yourself is extremely strong. So a major part of that is to be kind as to how your past self has behaved, be kind as to how you consider your current self, and then take kind steps forward. And take action that also loves towards others, not just focusing on you.

Do this act and see how it will change your life.
