TIP #03: SERVE OTHERS SELFLESSLY …
Seriousness requires that you focus on your self and your own life, so it is an instant cure
for seriousness when you choose instead to focus on soothing another’s pain or helping
another to revel in their Joy.
In those times when you feel sad, reach out to ease another’s sadness …
In those times when you feel worried, reach out to soothe another’s worry …
In those times when you feel agitated, reach out to another who is suffering from anger or
frustration.
Do so immediately, do so subtly …
… and remember to do so Joy-fully.
“Service which is rendered without
willingness helps neither the servant
nor the served. And yet all other
pleasures and possessions pale into
nothingness before service which is
rendered in a spirit of Joy.”
~ inspired by Gandhi
“The ego can dominate your life only
if you take yourself too seriously …
The ego needs sadness to rule, and
seriousness creates that sadness in
you … So choose to laugh, and create
chances for other people to laugh.
Laughter has tremendous beauty, a
lightness. It will bring lightness to
you, and it will give you wings to fly.”
~ inspired by Osho
