Very well said, Sue. I agree with life is satisfying once we stop focusing on other's happiness and instead of focusing on ourselves. It was a difficult lesson but one that changed my life.

Man is really a being who is self-aware. Even if he has slipped and fallen,
is it not his bounden duty to use as a lever the very earth to which he has tumbled, and raise himself up again?
Besides, one does not fall so often.

If he does not awaken to the consciousness of his own Self,
what has he achieved?
He has but wasted his life.
How many lives are frittered away age after age in endless coming and going.
Find out who you are.
Discover the significance of the round of births and deaths, its cause and where it leads.
