As you have esteemed yourself so high, know that there are still people who are better than you and more so, you do not exist only for yourself.
Nature has always lived in coexistence and interdependence.
You are an essential element of nature, you are not exempted.
You are here to contribute your uniqueness to this world you came to.
What have you done so far to make life better for those you are in contact with?
Moreso, what will you be leaving behind for them?
Set your mark.🏹
Hoist your flag.🏳️
Be remembered. 🕯️
Starting from Jesus Christ to Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa e.t.c , what makes you think you can escape sacrificial living?
It is the only way your name can be etched on the wall of history.
Impact is the word.
It is the greater cause.
Bigger than your self interest and personal victory, that another life be bettered by what you've said or done.
Self pity and low self-esteem have never been healthy or inspiring neither has arrogance and narcissism symbolized true wholesomeness.
The balance is in knowing your unique value/worth, acknowledging the fact that there are still people better than you but not negating the reality that there is something the world is waiting for, from you alone.
That way, you don't look down on yourself or think too high of yourself but will have your energies tamed to a frequency that it will be the most productive.
Stable, controlled and long lasting.
Why would you want to do things solely for your glory?
You are mortal and you will still expire decaying into carbon.
Our extent and scope of accomplishments is magnified and expanded when we do things primarily for the happiness and well being of others.
Although some persons are inspired to take on humanitarian conquests for subtle self aggradization, when no one applauses you or gives you credit, will you still be content with the happiness of those you served?
That is the litmus test of motives in service.
What kind of mindset do you have?
In every venture, what do you see first?
Those whose lives will be bettered by what you will do or the personal gain in it for you?
What motivated Jesus to keep going on the way to Calvary even as He felt life leaving Him?
It was how better off you and I will be after He will have died..
Do you think like that?
Or is it all about you?
How about if you die?
What will people say?.
You know they will only say anything from the perspective of how you have affected their lives negatively or positively.
Self isolation and social ostracization is still an impact, a rather selfish one at that.
No man is an island and one is sure a lonely number.
Coexistence and interdependence is inevitable.
You are not the best person in this world and everyone has their own issues but it takes tolerance to overlook our shortcomings and focus on what's more important: a better world for all of us.
You and I have something to offer.
If we didn't, we wouldn't have come in the first place.
It doesn't matter if we can do the same thing, we can do it differently.
So bring your uniqueness to the world.
Let us know you came.
The world...needs you.
