Transformation happens whenever we open ourselves to see another's experience, looking beyond our own vision and encountering another's pain, fear or hopes.
When we follow Jesus' example and do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit and instead in humility value others above ourselves, then we notice things we would have missed otherwise.
Our concerns broaden. We ask different questions. rather than being preoccupied with only our own needs or angst, we become invested in other's well being. Rather than looking to our own interest, we become committed to the interest of others. Rather than protecting what we assume we need to thrive, we joyfully pursue whatever helps others flourish.
