We always do things for a reason, someone or something. Lets ask ourselves, why, or for who, do I do those things? When we are more and more aware of our own patterns, and where those intentions originate, we are able to reprogram ourselves, and consciously replace the ‘why’ of our actions for something greater. Our actions still depend on our egoism, but originate from an altruistic force.
It means shifting from experiencing life as “me versus the world” to sensing oneself as part of an interconnected system. Motivation moves from personal gain towards reducing harm and supporting balance without erasing the self. Pleasure comes less from acquiring and winning and more from fairness and contribution.
It comes from a realization that everything is the will of the creator, every unpleasant experience I experience throughout the day is an opportunity to work on egoism. This way when I encounter obstacles, there is none that is too small or too big, because to move toward being altruistic my motivations have to be equal in wanting good for others as for myself and that they will have the quality of bestowal.
