Beyond yourself
Existence is what you know, but only a fraction of a fraction of existence is about you. You intensely experience climbing the mountain, nevertheless the mountain dwarfs you even when you reach the top. — Ralph Marston
Your thoughts become much more purposeful and effective when they are not just about you. Go beyond anxiety, fear, and despair by focusing those thoughts away from your immediate concerns.
There is so much more to consider, to learn from, to discover, that can bring awe and inspiration to your life. The beauty, wonder, energy and possibilities will never be exhausted.
Rather than going around in hopeless circles of your own troubles, rise above them, send your thoughts far away from them. You don’t have to abandon your responsibilities, but rather reframe them.
With mind and spirit you can take journeys that bring tangible, enduring goodness into your world. By thinking and feeling beyond the limitations, you gain new skills to thrive and to share the value of your own being.
Look beyond yourself, beyond your problems and dramas. See new richness that’s possible, and make it real.
