“Doing nothing for others is the undoing of one’s self. We must be purposely kind and generous, or we miss the best part of existence. The heart that goes out of itself gets large and full of joy. This is the great secret of the inner life. We do ourselves the most good doing something for others.” ~ Horace Mann
This quote encompasses a lot of the important parts of service.
First, service is core to being a human being. Not doing service for others is the undoing of part of your essence.
Next, we must purposeful about service. We must seek out opportunities to serve others.
Only by extending beyond our own selfish desires and wants can we grow to our full potential.
And in the end, we do ourselves the most good by doing something good for others.
Make it a great day.
