Rise Above Yourself

"An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr.

Each of us live our early life in the narrow vision of who we are and what we can do for ourselves. I am unable to tell you if it is a biological or psychological thing. What I can say is that I find it a natural progression all of us take in life.

After some amount of time, as the years pass, it becomes old thinking only about ourselves. Part of our maturing process in life is to get up above our own ego.

Or in other words, get out of your own way.

A point is reached in life where we find life is more about others. We begin to serve and help others. In turn, it then truly becomes about you. Some call it "getting over yourself."

I call it becoming a part of life, of the bigger world.

When you expand beyond your own life, your world grows in greater proportion. So much more will unfold before you, so much more will come back to you when you rise above yourself.

Rise above yourself and find a greater life in return.

Stay inspired my friends.
