don't forget serving others


"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." -Mahatma Gandhi


Much of the Pursuit of your authentic life is focused on YOU:

Connecting to your authentic Self

Seeking internal confidence, happiness, and love

Exploring passions

Realigning values with your authentic Self

Self discovery

Prioritizing your alignment of spirit, mind, and body

As you pursue your authentic life, remember that an important part of it is discovering how you can serve others.

Connecting with your authentic Self will lead you towards discovering how you were uniquely created to serve others.

Your unique gifts and talents will allow you to serve others in a way no one else can.

Your passions will guide you toward using your unique gifts and talents in a way that serves others and is enjoyable for you—“work doesn’t feel like work.

Yes, it is important to prioritize your Self as you move closer to your authentic life; however, that prioritization should not come at the expense of serving others. The reason to prioritize your Self is to first find your Self and then make sure you are the best version of your Self when you are serving others.

After all, Bob Marley said,

"Live for yourself and you will live in vain; live for others, and you will live again.”

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

I was reminded of a conversation I had a couple of weeks ago, which centered around the question, “Who are you?” Not, what do you do? Not, what do you like? Not, who were you? But who are YOU? For most of us, the answer requires more time and reflection than we usually give it. Whatever answer you just thought of is probably only partially correct. Too often, we define who we are by the influences of others, what we think others want us to be, and keep who we are to our Selves. We can work on...

For the readers here in the States, I hope you find time to rest, relax, and recharge on this Memorial Day. I hope you get to rest, relax, and recharge for your Self–take advantage of the day that most of us get off from our professional responsibilities and slow down a bit, spend time with loved ones, and appreciate all of the good in your life. While you are resting, relaxing, and recharging, be sure to find a moment to sit in gratitude for all of those in the service, past and present, who...

I hope you had a great week and are having an even better holiday weekend! I came across a cool new project by Rick Rubin that I had to share first. In The Way of Code, Rick takes on Lao Tzu, who has been quoted many times in The Daily Notes, and does so in a very cool and creative way. This "book" is online, and while I usually like physical books, the interactive visuals make this online book a unique experience in addition to a good read. A Substack called AlignedLife I recently launched a...
