The best way to find yourself, is to lose yourself in the service of others.
As I mentioned the other day, a number of my friends are disillusioned with their lives, a little lost and are questioning whats next? The more I have pondered about this the more clear it becomes to me.
We feed everything but our souls. I am as guilty of this as the next, taking care of ourselves is always the last on our list.
We give and give and then we realize that we are empty. We are not sure how it happened but somehow we do not feel complete or full anymore. The longer we starve the core part of ourselves, the hungrier we become.
What fills you up? For some it is the simple act of going to church, for others its being in nature, lighting a candle, journaling, a moment of solitude to really listen to yourself.
Whatever it takes, to fill that part up inside you, at least once a week…do it. The fuller you become, the closer you are of finding yourself…..and once you find yourself….then you can follow Gandhi’s advice and lose yourself in the service of others.
It’s really just as simple as a lost and found.
