Take a stand for others.
I've found, time after time, that the measure of a great woman or man is not in what they get, how much wealth is under their belt, the hoards of friends they have or the material goods they possess, but it's in their power to uplift others in the darkest of times.
In the end, that's what really matters.
Our society has us deeply focused on acquiring versus giving.
We reside in a world that has us obsessed with results and grasping at whatever we can. This way of living has thrown many into the ground as we are constantly looking at the stuff we need versus being grateful for the things we have in our lives. We want what we want and we want it right now! But if you actually take some time to slow everything down and see what is happening around each of us, it's pretty phenomenal. There are numerous extraordinary things happening each day. But since we are living in the future so regularly we fail to see the wonderful things about the present.
Time to step out of that old story and into a new one.
When you can step out of this story - the one of progress, progress, progress - and begin looking at what other people in this world truly need, you give yourself and others a gift. What is that gift? It is the gift of true selflessness. It is the gift of giving. You start to see that many people in this world are in dire need of support, love, and help on an elemental level and you have every ability to fill these desires in some way.
So give as much as you can to the world.
What's fascinating about life is when you start giving, it at last gives back to you in the form of exactly what you need. Give up the way of living continually in the land of progress for one that is rooted in helping out other human beings in need.
