I have a niece who was in the Marines.
She was on a 15 mile march with her fellow marines.
She was getting very weary when her captain told her to “Look outside yourself.”
He didnt want her to become preoccupied with her struggles, but to focus on all the other marines marching with her.
I think this is good advice for us all.
Many of us are so self-centered that we don’t notice or care about others and their struggles.
We will never be as happy as we could be until we look at the world around us.
There are many people who have greater burdens.
