To Service and Joy

It was Tagore who said, “I slept and dreamt that life was joy.  I awoke and saw that life was service.  I acted and behold, service was joy.” 

 

To do the thing that is yours to do today, that’s service.  As we do the thing that is ours to do today, there is joy.  We can act from that joy and live in a state of joy.

 

It was Charles Fillmore, the founder of the Unity religion, who on his 90^th birthday wrote this affirmation:  "I spring out of bed and fairly sizzle with zeal and enthusiasm and go forth this day to do the things that ought to be done by me." 

 

Whatever those things are for you that ought to be done, know that your path is both your service and your joy.
