The work of significance embraces the very things that industrialism seeks to stamp out.*
Seth Godin

The beauty of a blessing always issues from a deeper place in time … The dream of prayer and art is to come nearer , even to slip through to dwell for a while in the vicinity of the essence.*
John O’Donohue

It’s not a catchy title, but
it is the important part of the brain when it comes to processing
information about the self;
What we feed the vmPFC is critical, though –
There’s a difference between a self-enhancing self (ego) and
a self-transcending self (true self),
And it is the latter that Viktor Frankl encourages us to nurture
when it comes to exploring the fullness and potential of our humanity –
The unfathomed depths we know exist within us,
The joy of our responsibility:
Only to the extent that someone is living out
this self-transcendence of human existence is he truly human
or does he become his true self.
He becomes so,
not be concerning himself with his self’s actualisation,
but by forgetting himself and
giving himself,
overlooking himself and
focusing outward.^

One more thing:
Writing things down really helps the vmPFC,
So journal on.
