Greater than you

Profound meaning does not come from obsession with yourself and endlessly accommodating your every whim. It comes in the recognition and service of something bigger than you.

You will not experience fulfillment by catering exclusively to your own desires. Fulfillment comes when you’re able to transcend your narrow concerns.

Life and existence are much bigger than you. To experience their most sublime dimensions, focus yourself beyond yourself.

Ego has its place, and is sometimes necessary to exercise in the interest of thriving and surviving. Yet so much more of life’s value and joy exist far outside the constricted domain of your ego.

When anything seems to challenge that ego, remind yourself that it’s probably not such a bad thing. What serves to direct your awareness beyond you, can also enrich you in ways you may have never considered.

Seize upon opportunities to think and live beyond yourself. Stay connected with the massive value and potential of all that’s greater than you.
