Thinking about changing polarities

[Diana]

It seems like everything goes better for me when I only think about the benefits I receive living my life only for me. And this is the mindset that is perpetuated throughout our society. When I attempt to serve others with truths that would help them increase their awareness, I am repeatedly assaulted mentally, if not physically. I had a girl start wailing on me yesterday when I questioned her beliefs. I feel like I should just live by myself, for myself.

In a way, it is better to focus on self. By doing so, one grows and evolves. One thereby sets an example, and others will learn from it. They may ask why you are so centered or successful, and then you share your path. They may ask your advice, and when they do, you are free to give it; if they react, it is their issue; if you react, it is yours.

You can serve others just by being the best you can be. You do not have to help others directly to be of service. And sometimes, helping others directly crosses the line into control if there is attachment to outcome.
