Getting over ourselves

“Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.” ~Rick Warren

Socrates said that “the unexamined life” isn’t worth living. But self-absorption isn’t such a good thing, either. Self-absorption can be a symptom of living in fear or uncertainty — or spending too much time alone. And there was plenty of that going on during the first year of the pandemic.

Thankfully, we’re finally stepping outside our comfort zones to renew our sense of community.

When we stop obsessing over our own worries and problems, we open ourselves to others. We start paying attention to what’s going on around us — not just within us. It’s a big world out there — and isn’t it great to be part of it again? ~CL
