How Can I Be Of Service To The World?

How can I be of service to the world?

I can write and use my voice. I can share my vision. 

I can tell honest stories, share sincere lessons, and make people laugh. 

I can take risks and make mistakes.

I can fall apart… and rebuild stronger. 

How can I be of service to the world?

I can share my love.

I can share my love story.

And I can love my story.

How can I be of service to the world?

I can care more about people.

And less about what people think of me.

And be an honourable son, brother, cousin, nephew, and father. 

I can teach by doing, and remind people of how beautiful they truly are. 

How can I be of service to the world?

I can honour and respect my human. 

And take full responsibility for my mistakes. 

I can forgive everyone, all the time… including myself. 

I can fall deeply in love with God. 

And remember that my human is my soulmate.

^ This piece of writing is a throwback to exactly 1 year ago today.

Here’s the most important thing that has shifted for me since then:

Now instead of starting my thinking with “How can I be of service to the (external) world,” I ask myself how I can be of service to my internal world (AKA my heart and soul).

Instead of looking externally for validation and love, I go inwards with the intention of building a life that I am proud of and inspired by.

What’s funny is that when I start with myself and my own truth, I end up serving my community and the external world way more.
