Selfishness is ego energy that makes people focus exclusively on their advantage, pleasure, or welfare, regardless of others. It is an imperfection you must get rid of; otherwise, it will impede your spiritual growth. It is best not to let this energy enter your mind, be selfless instead.

Being selfless allows identifying others’ needs and assist in solving their issues. Helping others is an efficient way to squash our ego. Those who are selfless don’t develop pride or a desire to be noticed. They act empathically from their heart and soul to the welfare of others. They are generous and kind, thinking more about others than themselves.

Cultivating selflessness arouses unconditional love, connecting you with your brothers and sisters. As noted by Albert Schweitzer, “The purpose of human life is to serve, and to show compassion and the will to help others.” Failure to do so is a shortfall that will impact you one way or the other. Those who transit without developing this generosity have missed a significant living opportunity.

It will help to cultivate selflessness during your journey and be able to assist those in need. The ultimate purpose of life is unconditional love.
