This is from an
old Daily Om horoscope but thought it was a good one to keep around....
"Being
of service to others can make us feel empowered. When you participate
in making someone’s life better, you honor that person as well as
yourself. As you exert your personal power in ways that benefit others,
you derive a strong sense of fulfillment because you see how you have
the ability to change the world for the better. When you’re of service
to others, you receive their gratitude, which raises your self-esteem
and revitalizes you. By being of service to others today, you can come
to understand that even your smallest contributions to the world’s
well-being have merit."
