Food for... thought??

Iv been thinking about this recently through simple little things I have tried to do for people.

If we focus on simple principles and simple acts of service, we will see that organizational lines soon lose some of their significance. Too often in the past, organizational lines in things we have systematically set oursleves into in our lives, habits, comfort zones ect. have become walls that have kept us from reaching out to individuals as completely as we should. We will also find as we become less concerned with getting organizational or individual credit that we will become more concerned with serving the ones we may be charged to reach. We will also find ourselves becoming less concerned with out organizational identity and more concerned with our true and ultimate identity and helping others to achieve the same sense of belonging.

Service to others deepens and sweetens this life while we are trying to live in a better world. It is by serving that we learn how to serve. When we are engaged in the service of our "fellowm-en", not only do our deeds assist them, but we put our own problems in a fresher perspective. When we concern ourselves more with others, there si less time to be concerned with oursleves!

Helping out barb for example, although I was there and worked hard for 10 hours... she tried to pay me but I refused to take her money... after spending so much time with her and talking to her I realised that she has alot bigger problems than I do... and although i was broke and very easilly could have taken the money she was very willingly trying to give me, I couldn't take it from her.

I know a man whose every thought through all of his life had been for anf of himself... He had sought to keep his life for himself and to gather all the good things of liufe for his own development and enjoyment. Strangely enough, trying to keep his life for himself... he has shrunk, has lost his friends and his family and will probably end up being alone for the rest of his life.

As we seek true happyness... we must expand our energies for purposes larger than our own self interest...
