Being self-focused is dangerous because you think of yourself only and become self-absorbed and obsessed with things or possessions. To be well-rounded, you must reach out to people and genuinely care about their well-being. Being obsessed with something takes you away from positive thoughts and things you should get done.
Being self-focused is like putting yourself in a little box and opening up the box when it only benefits you to do so. Putting yourself in a neat little box robs you of life and consumes your soul. Reach out to people and surround yourself with people, and you will feel much better. Look at the whole picture in life and live outside of the box.
By being obsessed with yourself, you rob yourself of a good connection with God. Without God in your life, you will stumble and fall and will not be able to get up again at some point. God has a path chosen for you. Make sure you walk the right way and do the right things on that path that will benefit many and not just yourself.
God and people do not care for someone who is self-centered and has lost their way on the right path. Pray to God without ceasing to help you stay on the track that will accomplish the most in your lifetime. There are many distractions in life, so be extra careful not to be distracted for long. Evil tries to overtake the good in you if you stay distracted or obsessed with something for too long. If money is your primary focus, you are entirely off of your chosen path in life. Money is truly the root of all evil as many get obsessed with amassing a larger and larger fortune that they do not spend to help those in desperate need.
Focus on God, family, friends, and what you can do to help others. Always be kind, compassionate, and genuinely care for the needs of others in your life and those in need you do not know. Continue to spread God’s good works every day.
