We are by nature self centered, and choose things we like all day. That's the inner child...and we never totally get rid of that. The single most important question to ask every day is: "Have I helped someone else today?" Helping someone else, especially f you don't know them; is the highest goal! Small acts of help, can make all the difference to someone at the end of their rope. Sometimes, I have to answer no, but on a good day; I have reached more! We are trying to pass out under wear as it gets cold, that has been collected for months. You never will know what grew from what you do...that question is always there, and sometimes I can answer it to my satisfaction! 👍💙🙏📖🙏💗🤠🤔

I understand the *help others* ethos and agree with it, however a focus needs to be put on oneself; if we are not right ourselves we're going to be little help to others, or so I believe. > Small acts of help, can make all the difference to someone at the end of their rope. Indeed. Just like small act of self-care can make all the difference to oneself, who may also be at the end of one's rope. Balance is the way to go I think.

Agreed, I just know that it is human nature to do what we want ( our inner brat....), so I don't worry as much about that. I spent the afternoon at the gun range to make my inner brat happy (it worked, LOL) , but I also taught a Lady how to shoot her concealed carry pistol. The instruction she had been given didn't work for her, so I showed her a modified crush grip that allowed her to control! This allowed me to show her how to squeeze the trigger, and hit the target. A friend was given a lump of rust that turned out to be a 36 calibre Colt Navy replica of a 1861 black powder pistol. I've been walking him through a recovery and repair cycle. Not perfect yet, but we were able to shoot it yesterday, he was thrilled! It was fun for me, to watch them grow. So it does all round out in the long run. I got one of mine that was having trouble to get it to cycle properly...to cycle, and found my shoulder was finally up to a real recoil. My Son was able to join us after he got off work, and one of the other shooters came over to me and told me he was Good! Nice to hear. Asking questions can be a nightmare for me right now, since I lost her in April! Did I do all I could? Those questions are dark and numerous, and can't be answered this side of sanity! My head knows I did it right, but my heart.... So external focus helps right now, so I'm buying SCUBA gear. 👍💙🙏📖🙏💗🤠🤔🤕

I understand what you're saying, but I guess I wasn't so much talking about *doing what a person wants*, but determining what actions one feels are the right ones in life, like helping others for instance. Maybe a question one may ask themselves is, *"have I been of assistance to my fellow humans and made a difference to someone's life today?"* Just an example. My point being that if a person doesn't delve into themselves a little it's difficult to see (as clearly) better ways forward. I think you get it, we're maybe just saying it differently.<div><a href="https://engage.hivechain.app"></a></div>
