...Many times, we may find it easier to focus on someone else's life than our own, so this secret of spiritual happiness is asking us to also pay attention to ourselves, in a positive way.

This doesn't mean that you have to become an egotistical narcissist. People may be afraid of being criticized for paying attention to themselves, because they don't want to be judged as self-absorbed. Certain "political correctness police" seem to think that you should never talk about yourself or think too well or too often about yourself. However, don't let their judgments deter you from focusing on yourself in the right way.

After all, if there is one thing you've got in this world, it's you. You are the divine light of creation, shining through as a very interesting tale - the story of your life. Whether you choose to share your story publicly with others, at least you can read and enjoy your own story.
