Thanks for this really eye-opening submission, Lane! Personal development in it of itself is so paradoxical. We want to better others, but we have to better ourselves first. We want to better ourselves, but our ultimate goal is to better others. It is this cycle we have to realize only ends when we embrace the joy of the process rather than the end result.

That feeling of loneliness, do you find it is going away now that you are more present and aware of who you truly are?
