Being of Service - Part 1

We are creatures who need to serve. No one wants to feel that they are useless. Without a purpose, we do not thrive, and our purpose, whatever that is, is in part our way to be of service.

When it comes to being of service, we are Beings of Service.

What kind of service are we talking about?

If you're like me, you often just want to be left alone; maybe you don't want to volunteer for anything. But I'll bet there is something that you care about - something that you give your energy to. Whatever that is, that is your path of service. Follow that path, and you will find satisfaction. Fail to follow it, and you will forever feel that some part of your life is missing.

Who do we serve? Not all of us are driven by the urge to serve our fellow man - often we just want to go our own way, do our own thing. If we stay in that mode, we shrivel and shrink inside, because we need a vision bigger than ourselves to fill us with enthusiasm, to give us motivation. The Spirit in us is stirred to follow our grandest dreams, our biggest ideas. Unless our thoughts are big enough to stir our emotions, they do not stir the Spirit within.

If you don't feel the urge to follow a purpose, maybe your ideas are too small to turn you on!
