Do You Ever Think Beyond Yourself?

Self-care is important, but having the ability to think about another's needs is also integral for conscious personal development. On a daily basis, do you find yourself naturally wanting to help other people? Or, are you so consumed with your own world that you neglect to soulfully connect with those around you? Without compromising your boundaries, values, or morals you can participate in the giving and receiving exchange of energy that is part of the universal flow. Some people, without even thinking twice, are part of this energy, often subconsciously, because it is inherent in their nature. For example, they'll automatically slow down when they see a line of cars built up and let others merge onto their lane. Or if a friend's child gets sick at a birthday party, they are right there helping the mom clean up. Examine your attitudes and beliefs about being there for others in need. Is it natural for you to want to help? If not, what are the reasons, boundaries, and walls you've set up that prevent you from being of service to people, animals, or environments in need?

Without compromising myself, I give and love openly. It feels natural to me to be of service to others. I enjoy participating in the universal exchange of energy and feel part of a conscious, connected world. When all is stable and functional in my world, I am able to think, feel, and act beyond myself in a genuine, caring manner.
