I have truly found found, time upon time, the measure of a great woman or man is not in what they acquire, how much wealth is under their belt, the hoards of friends they have or the material goods they possess...but it's in their true ability to uplift others in the blackest of times. That matters...it really matters.
Our society has us deeply concentrated on getting versus giving.
We are living in a world that is targeted on results and grasping at whatever we are able to. This way of living has ground many into the ground as we are constantly taking a look at the stuff we want vs. being grateful for the things we have. We want what we need and we want it now! But if you really take a little time to slow down and see what is occurring around everyone, it's pretty amazing. There are numerous amazing things taking place every single day. However, since we are living in the future so often, we can't see the wonderful things about the present.
When you can step out of this narrative - the one of progress, progress, progress - and begin to look at what other folks in this world need, you give yourself and others a gift. What is...that gift? It is the gift of true selflessness. It is the gift of giving. You truly begin to see that many people in this world are in major need of support, love, and help on an elemental level and that you have every ability to fill these wants in some way.
So give. Give everything you have. What's fascinating about life is when you start giving, it eventually gives back to you in the form of exactly what you need. Give up the account of living constantly in the land of progress for one that is based on helping out other humans in need.
Time to take a stand for others.
