I've been up all night thinking. Sometimes I have nights like this where my brain just can't shut off, and no matter how sleepy I might be, or what I have to do in the morning, I just lie awake. Luckily I work a night shift tomorrow so I'm not in too much trouble.

I worry sometimes that I'm too self-involved. It's a real catch 22, because on one hand I embrace the imperative of self-examination and improvement. But on the other hand spending all day looking inward to see what need's fixing leaves little opportunity for helping others, and that's no good. So what do you do?

Maybe self betterment can happen organically as a result of focusing on the needs of others. Maybe the very act of moving past yourself is enough.

I should go to bed.
