30 Selfless Quotes To Guide Your Soul: Inspirational Words of Wisdom

Selfless Quotes

Be inspired by our collection of selfless quotes. Being selfless is an art form not quickly learned; some people are naturally selfless, but for others, it takes training and conditioning, and there is absolutely no shame in that! Giving to others before yourself is unnatural; the mind always wants to look after number one first. So don’t worry if you have realized that you need to be more giving; the most important thing is that you recognize that and want to adjust your lifestyle. Start with close family like your wife/husband and slowly work your way up to the wider world.

Why is selflessness important?

One principal act of selflessness comes to mind when searching my mind for examples; Jesus Christ gave his life so that we could be free of sin, and in my mind, that was the ultimate true act of selflessness. Imagine the world we know had no selfless people. It would be a dire dark place with no love, and I would go as far as to say that being focused on others is exactly how our civilization has come to flourish.

Selflessness will keep your mind and soul healthy

Have you ever wondered why you get that warm, happy feeling whenever you do something good for someone else? Knowing you have helped another soul is good for your own, and the reward for doing that is truly priceless.

Selflessness is inner peace

The peace of mind brought to you by being selfless is better than any worldly gain that you would get from being selfish. The feelings of joy and satisfaction are gifts like no other. The inner peace that can be achieved for helping others is worth more than any riches. Your life is based on how you feel. The better you feel, the better life is going to be!
