GETTING STARTED
Friday Nov. 17, 2017
My intention, to find joy in things.
Not all things. But some.
Not all people, but some.
Some people, apparently, want to please everyone – trying to be all things to all people – and I don’t for a moment doubt their zeal, their sincerity. I’m not wired that way. I’ll not likely ever be recognized for great deeds or grandiose gestures. Most of us won’t. Be we Pollyanna types or fitting some image painted for us (parents/teachers/philosophy), in the end, only two people get helped by any selfless act.
We help someone.
We help ourselves – we see reflection of who we can be, how we can help – experience how that feels.
We can’t help everyone. Nobody can. But we can help someone.
Don’t take on too much – just help one, which is really helping two.
Start there.
