I lost my self
while helping others
find them selves.
For which I am
eternally grateful.
The need for self
was killing my soul.
Or so I thought.
Turns out
my soul has nothing
to do with my self.
It’s just the seeming space
in which my soul exists.
And it is eternal.

In the journey of helping others find themselves, it is not uncommon to feel like we may have lost ourselves along the way. However, this experience can lead to a deeper understanding and gratitude for the transformative power of selflessness.
The notion of self can sometimes be confining and limiting, overshadowing the expansive nature of the soul. By recognizing that the soul transcends the concept of self and exists within a vast space, we open ourselves to the eternal essence that resides within us.
In letting go of the need for self and embracing the connection to the eternal, we can find a profound sense of liberation and purpose. The act of selfless service becomes a source of fulfillment, enriching both our own lives and the lives of those we touch.
