I wonder if you can be happy if your life doesn’t incorporate a drive to be of service to others. I find there’s where I find my greatest fulfilment and joy - giving openheartedly without expectation of anything in return feels like the biggest gift to myself. But I know there’s a fine line. Is the drive I feel really an egoic reliance on my perception of others’ opinion of me to fuel my sense of self-worth then translating into a ‘people pleasing’ approach to life without really satisfying my needs. And does it matter if it is?
