So even though we all exist within a community, we all have individual perspectives. My perspective is based on me and this body I inhabit. From this “self-centered” perspective, we each have the choice to be self-ish or self-ful.
Assuming that we are oriented toward taking care of our primary responsibility of keeping our bodies and minds healthy and thriving during this life, let’s take the assumption of self-ful—“self-centered,” self-actualization—and set it aside for the moment.

So then, what’s left? We have communities of selves who are all part of a collective, and whose imperatives are to discover what inspires each of us, do what we’re good at and what empassions us, and apply that outside our sphere of influence, thereby effecting and affecting the community. Once you realize that dichotomy of selfishness—from who you are as an individual versus the other extreme of how you effect your community—you can choose your condition and mental state, trust that your physical environment is in harmony with your ability to survive in it, believe that you as an individual are here for a reason, and refuse to buy into the drama of everything else that’s out there that’s not you.

It’s the dichotomy of the community that we live in. I choose to create team and community based on my ideal. The community actually feeds the individual and vice versa. So the key is to be the individual that’s in it for the collective. Now we each get to challenge ourselves to break the paradigm of taking simply to fulfill our needs, and determine how we can fulfill the community, in addition to fulfilling our self-fulness.
