HOW CAN I BEST SERVE HUMANITY?

The question is, and always has been:
NOT
"How can I have a big house... How can I be famous / rich / published or recognized..."
But rather:
How can I use up my days to best serve Humanity?
I can serve by recognizing the true essence of my soul's purpose, and to follow the guidance in my path.
I can serve by being in a state of joy, of doing what I love and loving what I do.
For it is here where all creation is born.By being a healer, a spiritual teacher, an inspirational speaker, a writer, a lover, a daughter, a (future) mother, and a human be-ing in a constant state of growth.
I can serve by trying to release and surrender to heaven's wisdom, trusting that all events and processes unfold in divine timing.
I can serve by seeing the beauty in the little things in life: the squirrel that trustingly takes peanuts from my hand, the purple flower in my garden, the red ripened tomato offering itself to my taste buds, my cat's furry ear and loving purr, my lover's gentle touch, the people and animals that come my way...

I can serve by seeing the higher self - the soul- of another person.

By offering (through my life's work) messages of hope, comfort, joy, and love in re-connecting humanity with the inner wisdom and that all-knowing master within us all.

I can serve by offering gentle reminders through living my own best life...
By being sincere, authentic, and kind in all of my relationships and my communications.

By being prepared to examine my-self when something in others bothers me...
By speaking the truth, being myself, and trusting the process always.
By my willingness to peel back the layers and live the real truth of the who that I am with humility, compassion, and kindness; and yet without the worry of pleasing others for the sake of avoiding potential rejections...

By honoring my-self with respect, confidence, and vitality
By always remembering the WHY that I am living for, and release the wish to control the HOW...

By setting an intention each morning for a full and blissful day for my-self and all those around me.
By developing the gift to talk from the heart and not just speak, to listen and not just hear, to see and feel the world with a sense of wonder, the one I possessed as a child...
By striving for faith in the greater Source, for inner stillness, and an open heart to see and feel the Divine in all life...

So that at my deathbed I would know that I am FULLY USED...
