Lessons in humility 2

I guess 2016 is the continuity of 2015. We're going deeper into introspection and what truly counts. The unessential is getting ripped out like it or not. Total transformation. And I thought I was doing okay. I was quite happy with myself. I realize now how far away I am. Not even close. 2016 is the time of the diminishing of the ego to it's right place. I thought I was spiritual but the self was talking. I was turning inward instead of outward. I guess it has to start with oneself but it can't remain there. Otherwise it is sterile. Close circuit. It doesn't light up the world and furthermore it can't change it. That's why charity is important and volunteering is important too. The visit of the sick. To get out of ourself belly bottom and to reach out for a soulful encounter. Go further than the material. 
Go beyond
Be within stay above
Meditation
Looking back and asking for forgiveness. Stripping from the past that doesn't exist anymore. Focusing on the now. The ways of the past are over. Only the present is real. 
I'm thinking, shrinking the animal soul is like going on a diet. At first, it is painful. It feels like a sacrifice. But soon, you get use to it and it doesn't hurt so much anymore. Getting rid of addictions. Moving addictions to positive habits. I was an addict and I will remain one. I made myself believed that I needed all sorts of things in order to be happy. It is not true. 
To be loved. Can you beloved and be loved?
Love not to feed our own needs but love like sharing and giving. Like, I would give my life for him. 
What's the meaning of life? Why Am I here? We are here to make the world a better place by bringing the divine light upon it. We are the interface between G-d and the earth. Our feet on the ground our head in the sky. 
We are spiritual beings having a physical experience
We are not what we do for work, not what we have, not what we look like. 
We are what we share. 
Going into spiritual growth is the same as the athlete who trains harder and harder. It is the same discipline but on a different level. Pushing every day to be a better human not for me but for the others, whatever that is, the earth, the animals, the plants, the people, society, economic, politics whatever. 
Not for our own glory but with humility.
