Superbly fulfilling
The quickest route to an empty life is to live only for
yourself. There is no pain greater than the pain of total
self absorption.<P>
Yet there is always a way to get away from that unbearable
emptiness. The moment you begin to sincerely care for
someone or something beyond yourself, a golden warmth enters
your life.<P>
As soon as you let go of a few of your own self-centered
concerns, you start to make room in your world for real joy
and fulfillment. When you give of yourself, you begin to
experience a magnificent sense of purpose that cannot be
reached in any other way.<P>
Behind every desire is a longing for meaning and
fulfillment. A truly powerful way to quench that thirst for
meaning is to live beyond yourself.<P>
Before you speak, choose words that will serve a greater
good. Before you act, choose deeds that will make a positive
contribution to the world around you.<P>
In small things and large, use the opportunity of each
moment to look and to act beyond your own concerns. The
success you create by so doing will be real and superbly
fulfilling.<P>
