“With humility, I pour my heart into teaching one, that many may benefit, and in selflessness, I surrender personal accolades for the greater good.” -Abiodun Lasile DL MnbR
Sometimes, protecting our collective humanity requires sacrificing personal advantages or positions to impart valuable lessons and accord others the dignity they deserve. True self-worth often emerges from self-denial, ultimately uplifting humanity. Not everyone can relinquish privilege to make a point, but those who do can teach profound lessons.
My SixthSense discovery reveals that self-denial can foster long-term self-esteem, particularly when lessons are learned and applied. This approach may be necessary to convey hard truths, even after repeated warnings. The adage “No pain, no gain” resonates here – someone must often pay the price for others to reap the benefits.
We must acknowledge and respect the sacrifices made by individuals who contribute to the greater good. While personal understanding is crucial, there’s also a need for recognition and protocol. Even small acts of sacrifice can have a significant impact, and it’s often the seemingly insignificant ones that can teach the greatest lessons.
Let’s honour our capacity for selflessness and recognise that even the few, the insignificant few, can make a profound difference of sacrifice.
After all, great achievers often do!
