Being Of Service

Being of service is extremely important to me, it feels like the least I can do in response to what I have been given.  Being of service is a recognition of the connection and love that has been given to me and that I feel toward others.  Loving others, agape, to me, means extending myself for their emotional and spiritual growth.  If I do that, without thoughts of self, I am taken care of as well.  I have also taken the ego driven approach of selfishly focusing on getting my own needs met, which is not as satisfying nor does that approch work as well.
