What Nobody Knows
I know something about you that nobody knows.
You know it and I know it, but no one else does.
It's a personal secret that you, I, and everybody else are withholding from the world.
What's that secret?
That we have our own best interest at heart!
Some of you just bristled at this notion. That’s because you probably translated the phrase “your own best interest” as selfish.
It’s not; it’s survival.
Our own best interest is how we thrive and survive. Those who act on this secret thrive more than others.
Take the late Mother Teresa for example. I’m sure most would agree with the label of “Selfless” when describing Mother Teresa. And to be selfless, she had to have her own best interest at heart, otherwise she could never have performed at the level she did.
Your own best interest is performing a life mission that’s so natural for you. Look at the people who are the most peaceful in their own skin and you'll find folks serving their own best interest. Their work is as effortless as breathing for them.
Note: This work doesn’t need to be grandiose or on the world stage in order for you to thrive. Your mission of having your own best interest at heart may be as simple as being the best parent you can be.
We get caught up in the conditioned idea that there must be a nobler purpose for us and we flog ourselves for not finding it.
Your purpose is hidden in plain view. It’s to have your own best interest at heart. It’s the one thing that helps you serve others better.
If you’ve ever flown on an airplane, you’re probably familiar with this instruction from the flight attendant before take-off: “Place the air mask over your nose and mouth first and get oxygen flowing before placing the mask on your children.”
That instruction goes against our instincts, but it's the best solution, and it serves your best interest. You need to be breathing properly before you can help others.
Your interest has to be served first in order to benefit others, otherwise what you're doing will always feel like a burden.
Unburden yourself by serving your own best interest.
The prescriptive observation of “When you feel better, you do better,” underscores the importance of having your own best interest at heart.
Finding your own best interest is finding out what’s most important to you. When you make that discovery, align all your efforts in that direction and you’ll begin to breathe easy again, and so will everyone else around you.
All the best,
John
