Being in service is not something that I thought about concretely until I took the YNW class. I don't know why - I was kind, generous, and helpful to others but without specific intention. What I do know is that having my 'in service' statement taped on my computer monitor makes a difference to how I set my intention for the day, and to how I interact with others. Somehow in the process of determining what I am being in service of, I started to realize that I can and do make a difference in this world. My life became more meaningful as I defined my intention of being in service and how I will be in service. I feel more focused and resolute, more goal-oriented in a less materialistic way. There is something within me that is satisfied by saying my service statement out loud and having it witnessed by my coach and my classmates. It gives that intention power and I feel more empowered in my life. By giving meaning and purpose to my life and business, I feel happy. When I feel happy, I am more effective and creative, more expansive. Life becomes joy.
"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
