“The value of our lives is not determined by what we do for ourselves. The value of our lives is determined by what we do for others”  Simon Sinek

I am often amazed at how much some people do for others. How they put others’ needs in front of their own, how they consider how other people feel, how they sometimes make choices that may not be in their personal best interest, but know they are in the best interest of others. When I see that, I truly do admire the person and want to try to be more like them.

The same holds true when I see others who aren’t that example. As much as it is disappointing to see how some only think of themselves, or do what’s in their best interest, when I do see it, it helps me take stock of what I am doing. So often I am in my own world, doing my own survival thing and sometimes forget that the true value comes from serving others.

This is the Christmas season and an opportunity to “light the world”.  I know in our little family we are talking about what we can do and hopefully we can move more from talking to doing. Because truly what we do for others is the most important thing.
