It's time to take a stand for others.
I've found, time after time, that the 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 power to uplift others in the darkest of times.
That's what matters. That's what really matters.
Our society has us deeply focused on acquiring versus giving.
We reside in a world that has us obsessed with results and grasping at whatever we can. This way of living has thrown many into the ground as we are constantly looking at the stuff we need versus being grateful for the things we have in our lives. We want what we want and we want it right now! But if you actually take some time to slow everything down and see what is happening around each of us, it's pretty phenomenal. There are numerous extraordinary things happening each day. But since we are living in the future so regularly we fail to see the wonderful things about the present.
Time to step out of that story.
When you take a step back from the allure of "progress" and start to see what other people are truly in need of, your perspective on this world really does change. Then, when you start to ask yourself the question, "What can I offer the world that it needs desperately" you are headed in the right direction. You might not understand immediately what it is that you have to do in order to fulfill this task, but undertaking the journey is a magnificent step.
So give. Give everything you have.
What's fascinating about life is when you start giving, it at last gives back to you in the form of exactly what you need. Give up the way of living continually in the land of progress for one that is rooted in helping out other human beings in need.
