...to grow in the
experience of
doing for others.
One way to grow in our understanding of
responsibilities beyond ourselves is by
volunteering some time and energy to
provide a service to others. The issues that
face those in need might await us in the
future. The appreciation given for a sincere
service is an important formative experience
for all children.
“This is the miracle that happens every time to those who
really love; the more they give, the more they possess.”
—Rainer Maria Rilke
“Consciously or unconsciously, every one of us does render
some service or other. If we cultivate the habit of doing this
service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow
stronger, and we will make not only our own happiness,
but that of the world at large.”
—Mahatma Gandhi
“Fashion your life as a garland of beautiful deeds.”
—Buddha
