Finding a Positive View
If you find yourself having difficulty focusing on the needs of others or worldly affairs, reacting negatively or even angrily when others approach you for help or to make use of your talents, skills & resources, there is action you can take to bring yourself back into balance.
A self-absorbed mind-set is periodically normal. If you want to avoid the blinding effect to the realities of the world around you, just take contrary action.
If you continue without taking contrary action, you are likely to let fear that people in your home or workplace are trying to wrestle control from you or abuse your resources. This kind of thinking/feeling can drive you to act selfishly.
In order to reestablish your harmonious relationship with your environment, you will need to reverse your focus.
Focusing outward will likely remind you that you are only one individual in a planet full of people.
Your charitable and giving nature may be re-awakened today when you see that you are capable of improving the world.
