Realization: I am withholding myself from life. I was so unaware of this until I watched a Joel Osteen sermon yesterday in which he spoke of being service to others, he talked about the joy and gifts we receive from being of service to our partners, family, friends and the world. An anger arose within me as I said to the laptop that didnt work! I was definitely of service to my partner, friends and family the past several years and I feel it was unrewarded. (Ill expand on that in another post.) Last night a classmate suggested that I was not giving of myself and I realized that was true, I had felt so hurt that I quit giving of myself in nearly every area of my life. Ive withheld my love, my attention, my care and this has left me empty. By nature I serve and to have gone 6 months without being of service has been detrimental to my mental health. I think this will be a challenge, to go back to the way I served before but I know its vital to my happiness. This week I will be more attentive, compassionate, loving and offer greater service to those I love. Affirmation: Great God within, show me where and how to be of service.
