Day 58 - Service
Our life draws its value not from the money we make, the prizes we win or the power we wield over others, but from the service we give every day to our community.
Reflection
- When you serve, do it without expecting anything in return.
- Do it as a service to the universe, not reluctantly, but with joy.
- By doing so, you are a model to others, and add to a culture of nonviolence.
Action
- Make a commitment to give back to the world in your own unique way.
- Choose one thing you can do to be of service to your community today.
- Every little thing makes a difference.
- Write about how it felt to be of service.
