The problem you’re solving
Pause to ask yourself, “What’s the problem I’m solving?”
Is it personal? Is it self-indulgent?
If we’re not careful, the problems we end up solving (naturally) become increasingly selfish. I’m hungry. I want attention. I need to be entertained. I seek status.
What’s surprising is that the more we work to solve these problems for others, the more they’ll be solved for ourselves.
When we work to serve the needs others, we soon find many of our own needs fulfilled.
