R.I.S.E. WORDS: Day 126: The Blessing of Service to a Friend

My friend arrived from abroad today. She came to have a small surgery that required general anesthesia; so she needed someone to pick her up and drop her off. She and I thought that that would be the only help she needed. I was more than happy to do both--and did. She or I didn't expect that she'd be in excruciating pain and would require lots of close attention and assistance---even help sitting up, lying down and eating. She told me how blessed and grateful she is that I am here to help her. But after 8 hours of helping in all sorts of ways, even spoon-feeding her dinner, I am realizing that I am the one who is blessed by the opportunity to provide service to her. It's weirdly paradoxical that I can consider care-giving on a nice warm Friday night in DC as a blessed opportunity. But as someone who is hardly ever in situations where I am called to give care, I have a decidedly positive feeling of fulfillment that is directly related to the service I am giving her. It really feels good. Perhaps that why it is often said that service to others is the gateway to true happiness. If you haven't done it lately, give service a try!

R.I.S.E. WORDS: Day 125: Cruising Altitude: Day 10 of 10

This is day 10 of a series I am devoting to sharing key things you can do to elevate yourself and your life experiences to what I call "cruising altitude", the level of awareness where the "Good Life", YOUR Good Life, awaits you.


Key #10 To Reaching Cruising Altitude: Take Time In The Quiet

This last step seems irrational to some. After all most of us are programmed to believe that getting something, requires "doing something"; so we tend to feel that if we are doing something to "make things happen", they won't. In truth both are true. Action is required. The first 9 steps involve doing something, either at a mental level or the physical level. So surely there's a part play , energy to expend to bring about the Good Life. But, equally important, there is role for inactivity in the process of bringing about the good life. Rest, time-out, quiet time--call it what you desire-- is a critical part of the creative process. For even the hardest working farmer, there is a time, after a great deal of energy has been invested in preparing the land and sowing the seeds, that simply doing nothing is the very best contribution he or she can make towards the desire outcome. So it is with bringing forth your good life!! From quiet and quiet and patience comes renewed energy and fresh ideas that will further benefit the Good Life you desire.


Now R.I.S.E.; your Good Life awaits you!
