I have found, time upon time, that the measure of a great woman or man is not in what they acquire, how much wealth is under their belt, the hoards of friends they have or the material goods they possess...but it's in their ability to uplift others in the darkest of times. That matters...it really matters.
Our society has us deeply targeted on acquiring versus giving.
We are living in a world that is targeted on results and grasping at whatever we are able to. This lifestyle has ground many into the ground as we are constantly taking a look at the the things we desire versus. being thankful for the things we have. We want what we need and we want it now! But if you truly take a while to take it easy and see what is occurring around everyone, it's pretty phenomenal. There are many amazing things happening each day. But since we are living in the future so frequently we refuse to see the beauty of the present.
When you can step out of this account - the one of progress, progress, progress - and start looking at what other folks in this world need, you give yourself and others a 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 dire need of support, love, and help on a fundamental level and that you really have every ability to fill these needs in one way or another.
So give. Give everything you have. What's fascinating about life is when you start giving, it ultimately gives back to you in the form of exactly what you need. Give up the account of living constantly in the land of progress for one that centers around helping out other humans in need.
Time to take a stand for others.
