The most significant difference between self-serving and serving others is this question: whom does this benefit? Truly.
When insecurity disguises itself as serving others, people at the receiving end can feel that the beneficiary isn’t them but the person.
On the other hand, genuine curiosity shows up with care and empathy, imagining what the receiving end might be experiencing, and acting as if.
When struggling with genuine curiosity, focusing on building a stronger inner self helps.
