A friend of mine posted the quote below, and I felt it challenged me so much around what am I doing, versus what am giving/sacrificing, ultimately not focus the purpose of my existence around me...
"One could spend a lifetime tinkering with one's soul - more time alone, more retreats... more self-improvement, more searching for one's center - and at the end have no record of self-denial in the quest for the other's good, no risky investment in altering the oppressive conditions under which other live, no voice raised in the public forum of conflicting values. Religious self-centeredness is seeking to save one's life and that, even if it is called spirituality, is finally fatal."
