If your heart, mind, and actions are selfish, they will ultimately divide you, others, or entire [establishments]. When motivation is pure and selfless, it will result in helping bring others together.

About This Quote

When motivation is pure and selfless, it will result in helping bring others together. The lesson here is that selfishness and selflessness are polar opposites. When you are selfish, you push people away. When you are pure and selfless, you draw people to you.

It is important to understand that when we do good things for others, we are not doing them out of compulsion or obligation. They come from a genuine desire to help others who need it. You don’t have to be some kind of saint to do good things for others, just because it makes you feel good inside.

Selfless acts can also be done without any regard for your own gratification. A perfect example of this is the concept of giving at all costs. When people give of themselves freely, they are giving without any thought of what they will get in return for their generosity.
