Leo, is your Life Purpose part of what motivates you to improve yourself?

[Vision]

In the last video, when you said that you further refine and consolidate your understanding of reality, it reminded me of two concepts;

• The Protégé Effect
• The Feynman Technique

Both of these concepts suggest that when you teach others, it reinforces your understanding.

Seneca also says “While we teach, we learn”

Does this increase your motivation to do everything that you do to improve yourself?

Because outside of solely improving yourself for yourself, it serves a purpose that’s meaningful to you, which is sharing your insights with others so that they can also improve themselves?

That includes sitting down to contemplate, meditate, yoga, retreats, etc.

Imagine that you couldn’t share any of your insights with anyone, imagine that you didn’t have a Life Purpose, would you lose some motivation?

[Leo Gura]

Yes, of course.

If I was only doing it for myself I would be 100x less developed than I am. Selfishness is not motivating. There needs to be a higher reason for all this work.

In many ways I care about your development more than I care about my own.

@Leo Gura

Agreed.

I’d say that having a Life Purpose, counterintuitively, is more selfish than the mainstream idea of what selfishness is. 

It all comes full circle;

Highest Selfishness = Selflessness

I find that when I’m studying all these perspectives, interconnecting everything, and contemplating, I have this huge urge to share my insights with others. If that got taken away from me I’d lose my drive. 

I still have an attachment to having a purpose. I think that will be hard to transcend.

If up is down, and down is up, then yes.

Can’t have up without down and vice versa.

It all comes full circle. Non-Duality.
