The Goal Of My Life Is Self-Fulfillment
The Problem With Self-Fulfillment Is All You Get Is Yourself
Just Live Your Best Life

You have to Lose Yourself to Find Yourself
Luke 9:24 For whoever wants to save their life will lose it,but whoever loses their life for me will save it. New International Version

in order to lose ourselves so we can find ourselves
