Sometimes when we are lost in the daytoday activities of life and work, we forget there is a part of us that wants to serve and make a difference in the world.It is also a good time to look for ways to express yourself through service to others. Most people want to live a life full of meaning.If you recognize you have a true desire to serve, voluntary work in the community and a spirit of giving can lead you to an understanding of what you care about, what your natural talents are, and what your life purpose is.It can start you on the path to a new life. To live your purpose as fully as possible, use your natural gifts when you serve others.If you are a naturallyborn teacher, you could teach students who are struggling with basic reading skills.If you are good at encouraging people, you could visit people who are sick or in nursing homes. Many of us forget how lucky we are and how much support we have.When we reach out to others, we sometimes realize how our lives have been blessed.When you are aware of all the blessings that you have received, you can understand your true capacity to make a difference. Service is a spirit for living in addition to a set of actions.You live your life purpose every day.It"s not just when you are volunteering at church or the local food bank.It"s every time you interact(互动) with anyone.Through your actions, your words, and your smiles, you have the capability to either uplift someone or put them down.Meaningful, purposeful lives are built every moment, not just in isolated times spent volunteering.Whether it"s at work, in traffic, in the line at the grocery store, or at a concert, you have an opportunity to serve and change the world.Your efforts don"t have to be extraordinary, but your life certainly will be.

When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness, who possess wings of their own and who will fly with me. I seek friends whose qualities illuminate(照亮)me and train me up for love. It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours, too good not to share. When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and "too serious" about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say: "Let"s start with a train whistle today." We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped. When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend. He was in despair(失望) and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We_gave_London_to_ each_other._ For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other"s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: "Yes, I must tell…". We have never met. It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with them is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist, who will only fill up the healing(愈合的)silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend. |
