Your own selflessness can surprise you today as you may find it quite easy to overlook your own concerns so that you can better serve those in need of aid. Since your attention is likely attracted easily to causes that involve human suffering, you may find yourself devoting a great deal of time, energy, or other resources to charities or individuals in need. The more time you spend aiding those less fortunate than yourself, the clearer your perspective regarding pain and need will likely become. For the first time you may see today how blessed your life has truly been up to this point.

When we examine the level of suffering borne on the backs of those less fortunate than ourselves, we come to see that what we have deemed challenging in the past pales in comparison to the challenges faced by people from all walks of life. This can inspire us to adopt a more selfless attitude when interacting with others, whether that means specifically participating in charitable endeavors or simply being as giving as possible in the course of our day-to-day lives. Our altruism is inspired by our understanding of the struggle many of our fellow humans must face to survive and prosper, and anything we do to make their lives easier or increase their chances of attaining prosperity will seem a part of our duty as beings of awareness. The concern you feel when contemplating suffering today will compel you to integrate altruism into your everyday experiences.
