Love, however, has the transcendent ability to hold each person (and being) as a center. You are the loved of Love. As the Bible says, you are the "apple of my eye." Today, let go of any sense of a savior complex - a sense of pride or burden about your service to others. Admit to yourself how much you don't know - and commit to taking wise care of yourself and letting Love love through you, perhaps in surprising ways.
Today, know that you are not the center of the universe. Each person (and being) has their own, unique and complex life, deeper and richer than you will ever know. They are the center of their own worlds, with their own concerns and fears and goals, their own deep wisdom and expertise and areas of ignorance. You are not a savior. You are not the hero - or villain.
