“To serve is beautiful, but only if it is done with joy and a whole heart and a free mind.”
~ Pearl S. Buck
What does this quote say to you? For me it's a reminder to not "should" on myself and others.
How often have you said, "I should do that" and agreed to serve in some way when your heart wasn't in it?
I believe there are times when we must be of service to a person or a cause even
if we feel weary, reluctant, and depleted.
At such times, we can dip into the wellspring in our souls and draw up love, compassion, strength, and courage beyond what our buckets have yet held.
And sometimes we must say, "No, I'm not available
to do that right now."
The highest choice is not always clear. So let's lean in toward serving the highest good with love, joy, balance and wisdom.
Truly and authentically,
Charlene
