The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
-Mahatma Gandhi

My wife and kids went on a Mission Trip with our church last week. They spent the week in the small town of Middleburgh, NY with about 30 members of our church. They helped with recovery efforts on a neighborhood destroyed by hurricane flooding. I’m so incredibly inspired by them, and proud of them.

The generous prosper and are satisfied; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed.
-Proverbs, 11:25

True leaders understand that leadership is not about them but about those they serve. It is not about exalting themselves but about lifting others up.
-Sheri L. Dew

I slept and dreamt that life was joy. I awoke and saw that life was service. I acted and behold, service was joy.
-Rabindranath Tagore

The best way to not feel hopeless is to get up and do something. Don’t wait for good things to happen to you. If you go out and make some good things happen, you will fill the world with hope, you will fill yourself with hope.
-Barack Obama

The most worth-while thing is to try to put happiness into the lives of others.
