Service & Compassion

“There is no such thing as a simple act of compassion or an inconsequential act of service. Everything we do for another person has infinite consequences.”
– Caroline Myss


I find this quote to be SO true. Usually we don't even give thought to what impression we leave upon others. As I sit and contemplate these words, I'm reminded that some of the largest impact made upon me was by people who weren't even giving thought to what I might think.

A kind word that made my day. A kind action that touched my soul.

No matter how large the deed or how small, all have added to my sense of self. All have inspired me to be more or love more or allow more.

The simple acts that stand most forward in my mind are the ones that were simply out of kindness. Acts of compassion and kindness that were bestowed upon me for no reason beyond that I appeared to need it and someone felt obliged to share their inner God with me.

Your selfless service and compassion are your greatest gifts to others... and also your greatest reward to yourself.
