Welcome to what drives you where we explore the expanse of our human potential and the miracle just being alive.

I'm your honored guide Kevin Miller.

In this episode, the myth of selflessness and how to find fulfillment being

selfishly selfless. I want to erase the myth and polarization around selflessness. I grew up in the Bible Belt, heard so much about

dying to self, in altruism and servant others was held up as this holy grail of human achievement if not existence.

I and so many others got the message that if an action or an activity gave you any joy,

well then it's selfish and the goal is to abstain from any desire and

only fulfill the desires and needs of others. My experience is this made for a lot of

guilty people and martyrs actually and and now I personally believe we've translated it

errantly to some degree. It's not what I see from Jesus if we want to look at the

Bible and I've found that the most giving and fulfilled people I know are really

joyful in fulfilling their pleasures as well and all that they do. I want us all free to understand

what fulfills us us fulfills others.

And that that works better than this dying to self concept, again,

how we translated it.

So this concept concerns you, and of of course stick with me a minute but if it does tell me about it.

What drives you becomes your reality. Let's create a better reality for all of us

right here and right now. So drive with me a moment. Let's talk about this dying

to self and selflessness concept and see if we can open up a little bit of the

translation to what may be a little more accurate honestly.

The only reason we're able to put out five shows a week on the What Drives You Podcast is we created a workflow and we complete a process.
