Serve, this is a projection, are there 'those in need of service'? Are we 'those who serve'? How does a sense of superiority play into these false dualities? What awakens a kid to help their parents, certainly, the parents have no need of a young child's help, and they aren't really much help, if any at all anyway?

That must be so hard! Let me know if you need anything." Sometimes, it means getting up and writing a letter to someone in authority or joining a protest if the suffering comes from a serious injustice. Sometimes, it can be as simple as cuddling with one of my animals when they crave attention. If I look around hard enough, I will always find an opportunity ...I find that when I see other living beings in pain, I want to serve them in whatever way I can, even if that just means saying, “I’m sorry.

Need in someone who suffers when I feel I can do something about, in possible ways of offering support. 3 Reply Debra7 months agoDebraI perhaps was slow to awaken to serve. I felt a very divinely spiritual connection yet I remained quiet and held that within. No longer. A connection with a wonderfully inclusive spiritual community awakened my joy and calling to serve those in that specific community and beyond. And I have received abundantly in return, which was not my motive. It is spirit’s way. There is absolute truth to the teaching, ‘Give and you shall receive.’ 3 Reply Amby7 months agoAmbyI have been privileged enough to at least secure basic needs in life. There are people who are not privileged enough to do so by birth. What awakens me to serve is the fact that a very small act of kindness can be of so much help to them. There were instances when I wish there was someone to help me and my life would’ve taken a different path. 5 Reply TeriB7 months agoTeriBThe very fact that I was granted the gift of living through this day. I do try my very best to serve in some way every day, could be as simple as a smile, showing patience and understanding to helping those in need. 3 Reply 333USA7 months ago333USAThe needs of others.

It seems to always be in response, a way I reply to some form of invitation, some attraction. Like the universe is approaching me, sitting minding my own business and asks me to dance. 2 Reply Present Moment7 months agoPresent MomentSuffering 5 Reply devy7 months agodevyThe suffering and difficult times that people are going through. We have a connection with each other and therefore the despair I witness awakens me to offer help and kindness. 3 Reply Mark Piper7 months agoMark PiperMy conscience and my impetuous nature often conspire together to rouse or awaken me to service. 3 Reply 7 months agothe acknowledgement that we are all equipped with the same set of challenges (within which we we are individually shaped) aswell as with the same sane core. service is twofold: to bring to shine my inner core and in this to inspire all I meet to taste their own inborn sanity, our shared basic goodness 2 Reply Julian Daal Childers7 months agoJulian Daal ChildersThe feeling that someone life will be better because of it. 3 Reply sunnypatti7 months agosunnypattiKnowing that we are all connected and wanting happiness and health for everyone. 3 Reply Lioness7 months agoLionessHuman nature 2 Reply 1 2 Next » My Private Gratitude Journal Write an entry in your private gratefulness journal Get Started This site is brought to you by A Network for Grateful Living, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
