Muir’s Morning Motivational Minute

‘Service is the very purpose of life. It’s the rent we pay for living on the planet.’

I believe some people have the idea that the word ‘service’ mentioned in this quote means that we have to do grand things, involving a large number of people. If you can pull that off, that’s great, however a quote I read recently attributed to Mother Teresa, sums up, I believe, what service is all about. She said: ‘If you can’t feed hundreds of people, then feed one.’

I believe even something small as a kind word, a kind gesture, a smile, reaching out to someone going through a rough time or just taking the time to talk to somebody is a service that we can all practice every single day. By doing these things, we can start paying our ‘rent’ for living on the planet.

God’s blessings to you on this day! Have a great Tuesday and a blessed day!
