He that loseth his life for my sake shall find it” (Matthew 10:39).
The Dalai Lama said said it this way,
“The more we care for the happiness of others, the greater our own sense of well being.”
This principle is transformative. When we focus outward, serving others, loving our Creator, and aligning our lives with His will—we are not depleted but filled. It seems so backward, but it’s real.
“No one has ever become poor by giving.” Anne Frank
"We make a living by what we get. We make a life by what we give." Winston Churchill
The second C: clarity
A Candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.James Keller
Contrast this with the inward focus so often promoted in society. When we focus on ourselves—our image, our problems, or even our perfection—we can become trapped in a hall of mirrors, stuck in an endless loop of self-doubt and over-analysis. Choosing a Creator centered approach, turning outward, clarity emerges. Suddenly, we’re part of something much greater than ourselves. Life looks good.
Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile Albert Einstein
In the Creator-based® Way, clarity is not just about seeing—it’s about aligning. When our Creator is at the center, we see ourselves and the world as they truly are. We recognize our weaknesses but also our divine potential. We see others not as competitors or obstacles but siblings on the same journey.
By focusing outward, we invite greater light, love, and purpose into our lives. And in doing so, we experience the profound clarity that comes from living in harmony with divine truth.
“In seeking happiness for others, you find it for yourself” Ralph Waldo Emerson
Next time you feel stuck or uncertain, remember the backward law: ‘Focus Out to Bring More In’ and watch as clarity begins to fill your heart and mind.
You’ve got this friend! All my outwardly focused love,
(The inward-focused stuff is stuck. Sorry ‘bout that.)
