THE LOTUS LANE

When you've spent years being useful to everyone else, losing your sense of purpose doesn't mean you failed — it means you forgot you're a person, not a role. Getting that back starts smaller than you think.

“A person who lives for others may seem to be sacrificing themselves, but in fact they are the ones who burn most brightly, who live most fully.”

- Daisaku Ikeda, The Wisdom for Creating Happiness and Peace, Part 1
