Am I thinking of me or am I thinking of you?
Ever caught yourself wondering if your actions are driven by self-interest or genuine concern for others? In this episode of 'Position of Neutrality', Joe McDonald tackles this very question with his signature blend of wisdom and empathy. The episode kicks off with a simple yet profound query: 'Am I thinking of me or am I thinking of you?' This question serves as the foundation for a deep dive into the concepts of selflessness and selfishness in the context of recovery.
Joe invites listeners to reflect on their motives and actions, urging them to shift their focus from self-centered worries to the well-being of others. He warns against getting lost in worry, remorse, or morbid reflection, which can hinder one's ability to be truly helpful to others. Instead, Joe encourages cultivating a mindset that prioritizes the 'stream of life'—a continuous flow of positive actions and thoughts centered on helping those around us.
He also reassures listeners that they are perfect just as they are and that a higher power walks with them on their journey. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to foster a more selfless outlook and break free from the chains of perfectionism.
