The Law of Attraction
We are creating our reality, every moment, every day. There are three elements that go into helping us achieve our goals: our thoughts, our feelings, and our actions. When we understand the law of attraction and consciously use these tools to attract what we want into our lives. Just think of all the possibilities in life, all the potential that is available to each one of us all the time.
Empathy
“All altruism springs from putting yourself in the other person’s place.” - Harry Emerson Fosdick
It’s all about empathy. We are all one. We share so much that we can understand another person’s heartache or sorrow. We can relate to each other. We want to do what we can to alleviate pain. This is how service begins.
All the Good
“In the time we have it is surely our duty to do all the good we can to all the people we can in all the ways we can.” - William Barclay
I believe that it is our duty to serve. I also believe that it is our nature to serve. We are here for each other, we are here to help each other. Many times, I think it is easier for us to help someone else than to ask for help for ourselves. But when we need help, we absolutely should reach out for it. When we need help, we are providing another person with the opportunity to serve, and this is truly a blessing.
Serving Society
“Serve self you serve society. Serve society, serve yourself.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
Besides helping other people, service has the added benefit of helping the person doing the serving! How could this be? Because service makes us feel good, it helps us to grow spiritually, it helps us to gain compassion. Service helps to make our society a better place, and it’s a place we all share! Because we are all one, what we do for others, we do for ourselves.
Service
“There is no greater satisfaction for a just and well-meaning person than the knowledge that he has devoted his best energies to the service of the good cause.” - Albert Einstein (1879-1955)
All of us who have devoted our time and energy to worthwhile causes know the satisfaction that Einstein wrote about. It’s heart-warming. It’s validating. And in many ways, it’s addictive! There are so many good causes that it would be impossible to contribute to every one. When you find one or two that really speak to you, that you can really get behind, then go for it! Get involved, and be of service.
