It not until you serve others that you appreciate how lucky you are. It not until you see some one who life seems worst than yours that you realise how lucky you are.
I had the privledge today of spending time with a young guy 18 years old who has a learning difficulty. By world standards he doesn't wear the latest clothes, at times he clothes are dirty. He holds no trinkets of success but this guy is rich. The reason being he has not be polluted by the world and he is who is is with no fake masks and pretences.
Being around him makes me realise what really being successful, learning to be me. He doesn't care the car I drive or the watch I own or the home that I live in. He just wants to spend time having fun. In our case playing the Wii.
Also making the effort to hang out with him is a treasure for me. It makes his day to know someone is interested in him. If only he knew that the time I spend with him or more valuable to me than potential for him.
If you really want to be succesful learn to LOVE & SERVE. But to do these you must learn to be humble
Really touched by your vulnerability & openness, thank you.
