Humanity

     One of the greatest lessons for a highly fulfilling life is to rise from a life spent chasing success to one dedicated to finding significance in life. And the best way to create significance is to ask yourself one simple question, ‘How may I serve?

     All great leaders, thinkers an humanitarians gave abandoned selfish lives for selfless lives and in doing so, found all the hapiness, abundance and satisfaction they desired. They have all understood that all important truth of humanity which is a life spent serving people and adding value to the world.

     Mahatma Gandhi understood the service ethic better than most. In one memorable story from his life, he was traveling across India by train. As he left the car he had been riding in, one of his shoes fell to a place on the tracks well beyong his reach. Rather than worrying about getting it back, he did something that startled his traveling companions; he removed his other shoe and threw it to where the first one rested. When asked why he did this, Ghandhi smiled and replied: ‘Now the poor soul who fins the first one will have a pair that he can wear.’
