According to me, the sole goal in life is simply to get over our own self.
Our own self - the self we own is not the Self. The Self is the caretaker of the self we own, and our job is to give over to the Self, align our own self with the Self. That Self is present in all and thus we align our own self with all, and realize we are all one in the Self.

The common belief is, if we’re
doing life right, we must get to the head of the class...always advance ever
upward. No. That is what keeps us tied to the reasoning mind. Yet here's me...thinking I'm better than the one striving to become head of her macrame class because I'm striving to show forth God. Whoa! Talk about a high-minded goal!
"There is no secret moral behavior required for knowing or pleasing God beyond becoming a loving person in mind, heart, body, and soul yourself," according to Fr. Richard Rohr.
There. That is getting over our own self...and "I have miles to go before I sleep." (Robert Frost?...Bobby Kennedy, for sure.)
Thank you.
