The word service is a great ego-buster. It implies a humility which, when maintained, allows our outer actions to bring inner change and growth.

Don't take our word for it. Many of the greatest thinkers and heroes have all come to realize that service is not just a good idea; it's a cornerstone to life itself.



I slept and dreamt that life was joy;
I awoke and saw that life was service;
I acted and behold, service was joy!
--Rabindranath Tagore

Only a life lived for others is worth living. --Albert Einstein

Everyone can be great because everyone can serve. --Martin Luther King Jr.

I learned that is through giving that we receive the worthwhile things of life. --Peace Pilgrim

Give like the rose gives its perfume -- effortlessly, unconditionally because it is its own nature. --Vivekananda

The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve. --Albert Schweitzer

The fruit of silence is prayer.
The fruit of prayer is faith.
The fruit of faith is love.
The fruit of love is service.
The fruit of service is peace.
--Mother Teresa

As you forget self in service to others, you will find that, without seeking it, your own cup of happiness will be full. --Yogananda

Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.
-- Howard Thurman

What makes you come alive? Every moment presents an opportunity to seize life, to make a difference, to find peace. We can let life slip by, or we can wake up and grasp its essence.

Often, waking your true nature is a matter of cultivation - filling your mind with inspiration and filling your heart with service for others
