Selflessness, self-centeredness or selfishness?
When your existence here and your perception of people and the world around you is rooted in yourself, IS IT possible to be selfless? If you try, will you only be pretending to be selfless? “I want all of you to be blissed out” – even this statement is selfish hence the term “I want”.
A mother takes care of her child not just because of selflessness but also because of deep selfishness. That is what also gives her joy and happiness. A soldier may be willing to die for his country out of perceived selflessness but there is also a very strong sense of selfishness. This act is what is going to fulfill him – that is why he also does it.
There is nothing right or wrong with being selfish in this way because it is the nature of how we function, at least in your selfishness you can want the best that you want for yourself but also make the connection for the entire Universe. This is not about ego it is about the design of life. When people become non-judgmental about their selfishness this becomes obvious. So on with really enhancing Self to be the best for all!
Below are some tips to help you get started in cultivating Self further to unlock the Uniqueness within.
1. Listen to music
Jamming out stimulates the part of our brain that controls motor actions, emotions, and creativity. Classical music might give us an extra boost: for example, listening to Mozart can increase creativity, concentration, and other cognitive functions.
2. Dance
Dance can be a fully-fledged art form, belonging to the “performing arts” – a goal in itself and a means of allowing a human being to express his inner feelings, thoughts and experiences. Dance is a natural form of self-expression; the body expresses itself naturally and so, therefore, does the spirit. We are all free-willed beings, no matter what our personal situation may be. Through dance, our body expresses how free we actually are, while also highlighting the restrictions our minds impose on it.
