A little thought of mine
Instead of thinking of the self, think of others. When you put the concerns and problems of others before your own, the problems you face become insignificant and you are better able to bypass them.
Thinking of the other instead of the self, allows you to transcend and become something more. Kind of like Bruce Wane in Batman, he doesn’t think about his own problems or safety, but focuses everything on a selfless ideal, a superhero, Batman.
