“As you transcend your own limitations and tendencies, you will naturally show loving-kindness to others. As your own light shines more brightly, you illuminate the world.” ~ Dan Millman from Everyday Enlightenment
Each of the prior 11 gateways lead us to the 12th and final gateway: “Serve Your World.”
Dan asks us to “Find a form of service that calls to you, that suits your abilities, aptitudes, qualities, and interests, that makes time fly, that draws forth your best, that tells you you’ve arrived home and found yourself.” And he encourages us to find the little acts of kindness we can give to the world--from picking up a piece of trash (I still remember the time he picked up some trash while we were walking from my place to lunch over five years ago...) and putting a quarter in an expired meter to offering a silent blessing to people you meet.
When we pay attention, we notice that every moment provides us with an opportunity to serve our world and to live with Everyday Enlightenment...
And, of course: Carpe punctum!
