The Myth Of Selflessness & How To Find Fulfillment Being Selfishly Selfless

The Myth Of Selflessness & How To Find Fulfillment Being Selfishly Selfless

In this episode I want to erase the myth and polarization of selflessness. I grew up in the Bible Belt and heard so much about dying to self. Altruism and serving others was held up as the holy grail of human achievement. I and so many others got the message that if an action or activity gave you any joy it was selfish and the goal was to abstain from any desire and only fulfill the desires and needs of others. My experience is this made for a lot of guilty people, and I now believe we translated it wrong. This is not what I see from Jesus, and the most giving and fulfilled people I know are very joyful in fulfilling their own pleasures as well. I want us all free to understand what fulfills us, fulfills others better than “dying to self” does. Does this concept concern you? Drive with me a moment to unpack it and see if you don’t agree and feel incredibly empowered in a new perspective on so called selflessness. Got a comment or question about an episode?
