The journey of pulling ourselves up while thinking of others is a delicate balance that the scriptures beautifully address. Philippians 2:3-4 says, “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.” This verse teaches us that true success is not just about personal achievements but also about elevating those around us. Galatians 6:2 reinforces this idea: “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” By helping others, we create a community where everyone can thrive. Lastly, 1 Thessalonians 5:11 encourages us to “encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” These scriptures remind us that our own growth and success should be intertwined with acts of kindness, compassion, and support for others, creating a harmonious and uplifting environment for all.
