The universe does not revolve around me
Stop being selfish
You are blessed with countless gifts, so start giving generously
Why drown in your own thoughts, think of others
Stand in their shoes, stand closely beside them
Look through their eyes, see their world, their universe
Give generously
The divineness within me respect their divineness
There is actually no me, them, others, we are all One

x43xxx is trying not to waste anymore time
I think it was being less self-obsessed and thinking that I am really different from every other human. It isn’t a very useful goal anymore because I am not ready to change. I do feel very different and I am self-obsessed but at the end of the day ourselves is all we have really especially if your single and don’t have children.

I’m pretty sure getting over myself came with moving out of my mom’s and living on my own.

i have this weird thing where when i look to the side (i’m 24 now and i just noticed this even though i’ve had it my whole life) one eye goes farther than than the other and it looks kind of strange.
i realize now that’s why photos i took when i was little are kind of weird. but at the same time, i need to get over it. i’m not perfect. but i’m still absolutely blessed. amen to that.

It’s about being appreciative of what I have. About getting rid of the greed and selfishness that sometimes inhibits me. Above all, I think its important to strive for realistic goals and to stop bashing myself, stop wanting more when I have plenty. I’d like to be happy just because I have every reason to be, instead of the other way around.

I don’t know why I always thought this, but it’s very arrogant when I realize this.
I thought I had to be the best at everything, when really all I need is to do my best. It doesn’t matter if someone is better than me at something, it matters what I can do and what I can do to succeed in maximizing my potential in life.
I dreamed of going to law school at Cornell and studying for my undergrad at UPenn. But the reality is, that might not be the life for me. And really- whose dream is that?
I am becoming successful. I’ve been studying in India for awhile and I’ve almost completed my training…
But I need to remember that my ambitions, aren’t my mother’s. I didn’t go to Harvard. My ambitions are not my father’s- I didn’t go to law school. My ambitions are my own.
And I need to focus instead on things that make me happy.

Thanks to my friend Michael, I’ve learned that I’m putting the stress on myself to be “perfect.” Perfect seems so good, but the reality is that it causes so much mental harm. You feel inadequate, anxious about everything you do, and tense about the world around you not “doing their part.”
I’m letting go…
I’m no better than anyone else. I’m changing my inner-thoughts from criticizing people I see for their dress, looks, or behavior and turning them in to complements. For example, at the beach I would be horrified at some of the things people wear and make an obnoxious comment like “that suit must have shrank after you bought it.” Now I change my inner speak to say something like “It takes confidence to wear something like that.” Not huge, but it’s getting hte negative out. I know some of my clothes have “shrank” before I’ve worn them :0
Thanks Michael…
