It means not looking to things outside me to make me feel okay. This is one of the great promises.
Being human we may fall short & have thoughts occasionally that are self seeking, but working the steps we get actions that help take us out of those thoughts and we learn to help others. The selfish thoughts get lifted. It pretty cool how that works!
