I've just finished reading a book that really made me think....why are we so self centered in our lives? We make ourselves the focus of everything that we do( at least most of us do) and our purpose is to make things better for ourselves or to make ourselves happier,richer, etc. How often do we really do something with no regard whatsoever as to the benefits for ourselves? probably not very often! We say we want to help others and make their lives better, but, do our actions prove that or is it just another thing that we say and pretend to do to make ourselves look better?! I'm not saying any of this to bash or pass judgement, i am saying it for myself as well...i am trying to look at my life and see really, what do i do for others and without myself in mind? The answer is kind of sad....but it's really hard to do if you don't do it on purpose! Our minds are constantly thinking about self and it takes a lot of focus and effort to make our minds focus on others instead. Anyway just been thinking and feeling a bit convicted i guess and needed to get it out there...i'm gonna try really hard this week to keep the focus off of myself...i'll let ya know how it goes!
