There exists only the present instant... a Now which always and without end is
itself new. There is no yesterday nor any tomorrow, but only Now, as it was a thousand years ago
and as it will be a thousand years hence. Meister
Eckhart
For many of us,
when we think of service, we envision great feats, sacrifices, large
philanthropic donations, and other grand gestures. While service can be all
those things, service can be much more accessible in our daily lives. Giving to
others through service is simply recognizing what you do best in any given
moment and offering that as a gift to someone else. For instance, in this
moment, you may be sitting in a coffee shop across from someone who looks like
she could really use a warm smile and, in this moment, you offer a smile in
service to brighten her day. Giving can be that simple.
