I have truly found found, time and time again, the measure of a great man or woman is not in what they get, how much wealth is under their belt, the hoards of friends they have or the material goods they possess...but it's in their power to uplift others in the darkest of times. That matters...it really matters.
Our society has us extremely targeted on getting vs giving.
We reside in a world that is concentrated on results and grasping at whatever we are able to. This way of living has ground many into the ground as we are constantly having a look at the stuff we desire versus. being grateful for the things we have. We want what we need and we want it now! But if you really take a little time to slow down and see what is happening around each of us, it's pretty amazing. There are numerous amazing things happening each day. Nonetheless since we are living in the future so regularly we refuse to see the wonderful things about the present.
When you can step out of this account - the one of progress, progress, progress - and begin to look at what other folks in this world need, you give yourself and others a real gift. What is...that gift? It is the gift of true selflessness. It is the gift of giving. You start to see that many people in this world are in major need of support, love, and help on a basic level and that you have every ability to fill these wants in some way or other.
So give. Give everything you have. What's fascinating about life is when you start giving, it eventually gives back to you in the shape of just what you need. Give up the account of living constantly in the land of progress for one that centers around helping out other people in need.
Time to take a stand for others.
