“Self-Preservation Spectrum”
Lush Tongue: Sound Meditation and More #57
In this episode of LTSMM, I talk about the self-preservation spectrum – from the extremes of martyrdom and zero-sum thinking, to the centered ideals of altruism / interdependence / enlightened self-interest. One quote that captures this dynamic is from the motivational speaker Jim Rohn:
I will take care of me for you, if you will take care of you for me.
