I agree with all that you said. Understanding where we spend our energy, and if it really serves us in the best possible way is so important. I like referring to the old Daoistic Systems to understand how the amount of energy we can hold in our vehicles is proportional to our health and joy in everyday life. In general they really had this energy thing down, great references to everything related to it. ;)
One thing id like to add... I feel its really important to take care of your own well being first. Then when you feel fulfilled, acts of kindness and compassion will follow naturally.
Thanks, great addition, 100% agree!
