If there's one book you read in the next little while, let it be "Happiness at Work" by Srikumar Rao. It is an excellent book! Exceedingly readable and it resonated with me on so many levels. The idea that we create our reality... that we see the things we look for... we experience things through our filter of life... Shifting out of a me-centred world into an other-centred world. Because, guess what... the world does not revolve around you. The things that happen in this world don't all have to do with you. People aren't always talking about you... People aren't always thinking about you... It doesn't have to do with you...
We are called into an other-centred world in which we look for opportunities to be of service to others. That is our true vocation in life... to be of service in some way, shape or form... And that's going to look different for each and everyone of us... So, instead of asking "what's in it for me... what can I get out of this"... look and see... what can I do for others... what can I bring to the situation... what can I bring to others... Without looking for thanks, adulation, praise, recognition or reward...
