Reaching out to others makes life
meaningful. Whats really great about this is the
more you give, the more you receive. When you
truly CARE for others, there are no strings
attached. You dont expect to receive anything
in return for your gifts or services. Real caring
is unconditional. You dont stop to think
whether someone DESERVES it. When you REALLY LOVE
someone, you dont worry about what is in it for
you.

Ways to Care About, Share With and Serve Others
WITH YOUR ACTIONS You might make your mothers
bed, rake leaves, tutor a younger child, open a
door for a senior citizen, or sit with someone
unpopular. Spend an hour listening to a lonely
person. Be helpful and kind to someone who needs
a hand. WITH YOUR WORDS Say kind things to and
about other people. Offer advice when it is
wanted and sympathy when it is needed. Sometimes
the kindest words are those that arent spoken.
Dont spread gossip, rumors or cruel stories,
even if they are true.

Ways to Care About, Share With and Serve Others
WITH YOUR THOUGHTS Positive thoughts can be very
powerful. You can do an act of kindness for
another person merely by thinking good thoughts
about him or her. WITH MATERIAL GIFTS Give to
the needy. Dont limit your gifts to special
occasions. Give when you are in the mood and when
you are not. DO IT JUST BECAUSE!

Look around you, and you will notice many
opportunities to give and serve. Sometimes
service involves sacrifice giving up something
you value to benefit someone else. This might be
your time, your talents, your energy and muscles,
your money or even your blood. When you shift
your attention away from your problems and focus
on helping others, your own problems dont seem
as serious or daunting. If you use your unique
talents and abilities to work for the good of
others, you will find greater joy, inspiration
and satisfaction in your own life.
