It is difficult to be worried about yourself when you are thinking about what you can do for others.
Service is a healing balm for the soul.
It takes you out of yourself and helps you forget about your selfish desires and self-centered fears.
Service centers you in the present moment and gives you purpose.
It calms the ceaseless chatter in your mind and the incessant regrets about the past and fears about the future.
When you find yourself caught up in worry, remorse, anger, or self pity, turn your thoughts to someone you can help.
You may discover that your problems were not as overwhelming or important as they once seemed.
