There are psychology studies that parallel this point. Once volunteer workers became payed workers, they no longer enjoyed working for free, even if they did so initially. What essentially happened is that the intrinsically motivated action was linked to an external reward therefore becoming extrinsically motivated. This also goes for parenting children. When you see that a child loves to draw, and you give them a cookie every time they draw, they will eventually only want to draw if a cookie will be provided, and once the reward is taken away, they will no longer love to draw. There are hobbies that I protect by not pursuing them professionally. I would come to hate them if my financial stability depended on them. I chose my profession on the grounds that I would not be entrusted with these tasks unless I got licensed. I love my job and do my best to focus on the intrinsic values I can realize with it rather than the money it affords me.

In today's world, selflessness seems to be driven by the desire for likes, comments, and shares. However, there are still some individuals who dedicate their entire lives to helping others without any expectations in return. These rare kind-hearted souls experience a level of happiness that is immeasurable. Let us all strive to follow the path of kindness and treat ourselves and others with respect and compassion.

I've found this to be true in spiritual development. We descend into the darkest parts of ourself to climb to the highest and this fluctuation is what causes our soul to grow as the duality creates expansion and the ability to rise to the highest possible vibration while still understanding the other side of the coin brings ascension.

The Bible often speaks of God’s care for those who are weak, poor, and in need, and of how he blesses those who share this concern. God wants our generosity to reflect his own free giving. As he has blessed us, we should bless others. Psalm 41:1 Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor! The LORD rescues them when they are in trouble.

You’re so right. I’m currently writing a book because when I was younger, I went through hell for two years mentally. Fortunately, now that I’ve healed, I want to share how I got through it with the world purely for the sake of helping people, not for anything in return. But for a while, I started thinking about how writing a book would “elevate my status” 🙄. I got into writers block for a whole year until I overcame my egoistic thoughts. Lol sorry for the long comment. Thanks for the video.

How to deal with people who have no sense of genuineness? Some people who agree to cooperate and take up work and never get it done.... When you be nice to them and they eventually start taking things for granted. These people are everywhere, they dont account for their actions and promises. And eventually you end up as a one-man army.

I respectfully disagree. It's like a paradox. If you truly want something, you need to let go of the expectations of receiving it. Trying to control how you want something, forcing something, is not going to get you anywhere. You need to go with the flow. Not against it. You need to swim with the current not against it. Taoists call it Wu Wei. Effortless action. In this instance, if you want to be selfless, you need to be selfish. You need to put yourself first in life. You will then have more compassion for others because you can fully feel comfortable in who you really are. Being selfish doesn't mean push people out of the way to be first in line. Being selfish is putting your emotional needs, physical needs, mental needs first. If you don't want to do something for someone, you're not forced to do so. That is what selfishness is. It's about putting yourself first and not being told what to do or being forced what to do.

@@stoddard1953 I hear what you say , plausible in some circumstances but the emphasis on `self ` worries me . I`m an old man and in my travels around the world in the last 50 years i`ve become aquainted with ` self ` in it`s multifarious forms , like : self realisation self-discovery. self-fulfillment. meditation. self-exploration. introspection. contemplation. self-reflection. If I look at the fruit of putting SELF first, i`ve been left fairly unimpressed and skeptical ! A few individuals here and there. What I have noticed though is an underlying pride and even worse ,Hubris , no matter how subtle. It stinks !

Performing actions without attachment to outcomes is the fundamental principle of Karma Yoga, one of the four paths of Yoga in Advaita Vedanta, an ancient philosophy. This principle constitutes the central teaching of the Bhagavad Gita, arguably the most impactful book I have ever encountered. In it, Krishna, an avatar of the Lord, instructs the warrior Arjuna, representing each of us, on how to navigate life. He distills the principles of non-attachment and the path to enlightenment.
