“I'm always serving something, and it's important for me to ask myself what that is."
The Power of Being of Service
"I'm always serving something,
and it's important for me to ask myself what that is."
Thank you for this true shift in my day. I was taken by the James Hollis quote you shared:
“if you don't ask that question:
Why am I here?
And in service to what?
you're going to be in service to
your adaptive postures
from childhood”
powerful to ask:
In service to what?
But the line “be in service to your adaptive postures from childhood” was what really captivated me.
It serves as a reminder of how embedded the postures are from
our upbringing.
I suppose we must first be in service to our•self in order to more skillfully serve the world.
One of the most loving things we can do in service to our•self
is explore the love•less•ness of our upbringing. (thank you bell hooks)
This is where true liberation might begin to take root - by gently tending to the roots of our adaptive postures.
Deep bow of gratitude for this teaching
❤️(❤️)
Well said! And we definitely stan a bell hooks quote.
