The Gift of Self is a Daily Intention to Be In Service to ALL!!!

What is "The Gift of Self"?

The humans (and animals ) who have inspired me the most have been the ones who have devoted their lives to service.

Jesus, Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Florence Nightingale, Jane Goodall, and every single dog I've ever been priveledged to know...all seemed to offer endless gifts of service.

Why is it that the majority of people I meet are complaining about the lack of service.

"I mean, that (place) had the WORST SERVICE EVER!!!"

How do we get un-stuck from this rut of service scarcity?

Instead of holding ourselves hostage, waiting for someone who is ill-equipped to give you what you need...always bring exactly what you need to the table.

This involves some dedication to getting to know what brings you the most joy.

For me...it's kindness, light-heartedness, silliness, cuddles, receptivity, time in Nature...and flowers.

As we serve others, we not only give people what they need for their journey, but we also give people what they need to create OUR OWN greatest experiences WITH them.

It is the gift that you bring to others that defines your experience with them.

And even if they don't receive or reciprocate, the fact that you are offering your gift to them, will give you more of the experience that you want.

Your experience is not defined by how people act towards you, but by the gift you do or do not bring to them. That gift is your INTENTION.

The intention is not, "Here's what I hope will happen." It is not expectation for a specific outcome.

Intention is the gift that you bring to others that reflects what you would want others to bring to you. If it is "joy," the the intention is, "I will be JOYFUL for myself and for others."

What happens when we don't deliberately set that intention and anchor that frequency with our conscious mind?

We match other people's vibration through a process called entanglement and we react subconsciously.

How do we avoid lower vibrational entanglement?

When we wake up, every morning, we set the intention that we will bring joy to every interaction, whether the other person is ready to heal or not.

This is the nature of a life dedicated to service.

Service is not something we take a break from. It is how we live for ourselves and for the entire universe. It's how we heal our own hearts, while simultaneously healing all...as there is only the ONE cosmic heart that's beats in all!!!

And please remember my friend...giving your gift does not have to leave you exhausted.

A simple smile and loving gaze can heal all of those involved in the exchange. I wrote more here about the healing power of presence:

And here is a two part article that describes the process of grounding yourself in self-love and worthiness in order to access that wellspring of unconditional love for ALL!!!
