Being of Substance or Style
Style or substance that screams for self-satisfaction sucks. Both have to reach beyond itself to others to have significant import.
The deepest satisfaction to me comes from satisfying others. Of course, wisdom is always needed; without it dereliction of self and the desire to forever please become unhealthy. Wisdom is the principle thing. Thanks for your comment, Ajey.
I agree wholeheartedly, Kelly. It is my greatest desire to practice this daily. I am forever conscious of it. Many days I am successful; other days I am not. But I awake, nonetheless, with the same intention daily.

Yes, I readily agree. It is the naive who think so, or they have a different and incorrect definition of self-satisfaction.

Placing the other above yourself will bring the fullest satisfaction. Great post to spark an interesting conversation.
