Few thoughts to help move attention away from ourselves:
- Thinking that I do great work can be an illusion. The work is likely being done through me. So, possibly, I am a medium and not an actor.
- My ability to do anything is due to the ecosystem of services others offer. For example, parents, teachers, family, cleaners, bus drivers, clients, doctors and countless others.
- I am a byproduct of my environment. My environment shapes my thinking, actions, and behaviour.
- In the game of life, there is no win and no loss. Our associations with events and entities make us feel we are winning or losing.
