From Me to We...
True happiness lies when we think of others welfare before our own. I have heard this many times and of course, this is better said than done because the natural state of things is that for us to think about our own id, ego and how our needs are going to be met.
Taking care of an injured friend has taught me so many things. I asked him what the universe is saying to him and he answered,"be kind to your body... ". Yes, hinay hinay sa basketball at tayo ay karne lamang. :)
On my part, I have learned that I am happiest when I make people happy and comfortable. I should have been a nurse or a physical therapist ala Grace Anatomy. By looking outside, I am forced to look back in and see what is important in life.
To think of others before oneself but not to give up one's personhood is a tough
balance. But again, the race is long and in the end the battle is only against oneself.
AMEN!
