Encouraging others
There is a notion in the wisdom traditions that we are not required to fix this world, but as long as we breathe the free air of earth, we must do our part to render service in some way, while we play and work in this fairy tale called life.
We can get very caught up in our daily lives, but is there a deeper purpose to this existence than just the next bill to be paid or the next goal to be achieved?
I believe there is and it’s called service to others, a simple and effective way to improve happiness and contentment.
Each day we can go out into the world, and create the time and space for conversations where positive change is allowed to emerge. When people walk into your space, when they meet you or talk to you, they may be suffering or very hungry for connection.
My desire is that when they walk out of the space that I am, they are no longer hungry or at least they feel a little more connected to something hopeful that they can trust.
By learning to be kind to others, we begin to learn the secret art of being kind to ourselves.
