Are You Serving From Ego or From Soul? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What underlying motivations drive your desire to serve others?Do you actually want to help your community, your loved ones, and the Earth, or do you want to be seen serving?In my last Substack, we explored different levels of service and the many ways we can serve — ourselves, the people we love, our communities, and something larger than ourselves.But today, I want to talk about where your drive to serve comes from, because you can do something that looks incredibly selfless on the outside whil
