Listen "Balancing Self, Others, and Now"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we explore one of the most famous teachings of Hillel from Pirkei Avot:"If I am not for myself, who will be for me? And if I am only for myself, what am I? And if not now, when?"This timeless mishna challenges us to reflect on three essential questions of life:Self-responsibility: What does it mean to take ownership of my life, my growth, and my spiritual journey?Connection and responsibility to others: How do I balance caring for myself with giving to others?The urgency of now: Why is procrastination so tempting, and how can we overcome it to live with purpose today?We’ll discuss how Hillel’s words remain as relevant as ever in our world of endless distractions and competing demands. You’ll walk away with practical insights into finding the balance between self-care, community, and taking action in the moment.Join us as we dive deep into this short but powerful teaching that can change the way you approach your daily choices.- Check out my book Living Beautifully, for more insights to bring meaning, joy and love into your life
