I have found, time upon time, that the honest measure of a great woman or man is not in what they get, 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 extremely concentrated on taking vs giving.
We are living in a world that is concentrated on results and grasping at whatever we possibly can. This way of living has ground many into the ground as we are constantly having a look at the things we desire vs. being thankful for the things we have. We want what we need and we want it now! But if you really take a while to slow everything down and see what is occurring around everyone, it's pretty incredible. There are many amazing things taking place each and every day. But since we are living in the future so often, we can't see the wonderful things about the present.
When you can step out of this account - the one of progress, progress, progress - and start looking at what other people in this world need, you give yourself and others a gift. What's 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 serious need of support, health, and help on a basic level and you have every ability to fill these wants in some way or other.
So give. Give everything you have. What's fascinating about life is when you start giving, it ultimately gives back to you in the shape of precisely what you need. Give up the account of living continually in the land of progress for one that centers around helping out other people in need.
Time to take a stand for others.
