Welcome

Welcome to my World. My thoughts, my beliefs, my life.

Many a times I sat back and wondered what my purpose here on earth was. I questioned my existence and my relevance to the world around me. Through everything I realize that my ultimate purpose where I can truly live for me and be satisfied and content every morning that I wake up would happen if each and every day I served those around me. I wake up with the mindset of "I'm yearning to serve".

Service to me is giving of yourself wholeheartedly. Without expecting a reaction or gratitude. Serving others is the cement that binds the world together. It is that unbreakable bond that allows the world to function as one. For every action there is a reaction. And if the reaction is for the betterment of the world around us all. Every action is then worthwhile.

John Gloster-Smith a life coach views servitude like this. "Service for us is something done for another without expectation of reward. It is when the ego is put on one side, hence the term “selfless service”. The ego is the sense of “I” that has to be protected, looked after at all costs, fearing some kind of loss, in survival protection mode. In that space, service would be conditional on getting something back. Selfless service is beyond the small “I” of the ego. Here, you and I are One. When I serve you, I serve the greater “I am” which is intrinsic in all of us."

So I challenge you as you journey through the good days and bad and to challenge yourself to seek out your purpose to find that spirit and that space that enables you to do exactly what you were put on the earth to do, that calm that allows you to live without regret.
