The best antidote I know for worry is work. The best cure for weariness is the challenge of helping someone who is even more tired. One of the great ironies of life is this: He or she who serves almost always benefits more than he or she who is served.– Gordon B. Hinckley
The more I meet people who are really happy and successful, the more I’m excited to discover that they all share some very basic beliefs and attitudes. They know that the key to success is helping others get what they really want, and that they have only to sincerely extend themselves in trying to help others to align with the fulfillment of their own desires. They may call this by different names, of course, but it all boils down to the same basic awareness: that we get what we give in life, so to expand into a greater level of experience and fulfillment, we must reach out more, and do our best to help others with whatever they need in whatever ways we can. I used to be happily surprised every time some extraordinarily successful person revealed that this is their key to success, but I now take it for granted that, whether they are conscious of it or not, those who manifest extraordinarily fulfilling lives manage it by giving to others what they’d like to receive themselves.
