🔥 JOIN THE ALCHEMY OF SELF-ABANDONMENT WORKSHOP: https://www.xavierdagba.com/alchemyof... If you are ready to uproot the hidden patterns of self-abandonment that keep you overgiving, dimming your light, undercharging, hiding, or betraying what you know you are here to express, I invite you to join me for **The Alchemy of Self-Abandonment**. --- *When Being of Service Becomes Self-Abandonment (And You Start Resenting Your Mission)* There is a form of self-abandonment that is particularly difficult to recognize because it often disguises itself as virtue. It can look like overgiving, undercharging, being endlessly available, hiding behind “divine timing,” or believing that truly meaningful service should require you to forget yourself. Eventually, that way of serving can leave a bitter aftertaste: *resentment toward the very mission you once felt deeply called to.* In this video, we explore why this happens, the fears underneath it, and four shifts that can help you move from selfless service into what I call **self-full service**—where your work can nourish your aliveness rather than continually taking from it. Your mission was never meant to require your disappearance. --- CHAPTERS 00:00 When service becomes self-abandonment 01:23 Why we struggle to admit resentment toward our work 02:07 The hidden need to be seen as good and selfless 03:20 Why we undercharge, overgive and overextend 04:07 Self-abandonment masquerading as virtue 04:30 Spiritual rationalizations that keep us stuck 06:06 Resentment: the bitter aftertaste of self-abandonment 07:50 The two parts of yourself you abandon 09:48 Four shifts for a new paradigm of service 09:59 Shift 1: Meet the fear 10:44 Shift 2: Self-full service 13:13 Shift 3: Make peace with being seen as the villain 14:35 Shift 4: Prosperity and purpose are compatible 16:00 Leaving the old paradigm of selfless service behind --- 📖 *GET MY BOOK — SCARS OF GOLD* https://www.scarsofgold.com 🌐 *EXPLORE MY WORK* https://www.xavierdagba.com 💌 *JOIN THE EMBODIED LIGHT NEWSLETTER* https://newsletter.xavierdagba.com 📲 *FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM*   / xavier.dagba   --- If this video resonates, subscribe and share it with someone whose devotion to serving others may have quietly become a form of self-abandonment. #SelfAbandonment #ShadowWork #Lightworkers #Burnout #SpiritualGrowth #Purpose #ConsciousLeadership #XavierDagba #ScarsOfGold
