Philosophies of the Ant – Selfless Service.
When you help enough people get what they want, you will get what you want! I would like to say that it is an idea, but I think it is much more than that. It’s a principle or a rule that occurs when it’s applied. For every action, there is a reaction. Act by bringing value and gain to someone else, and the response of blessings, fortune, kindness, all that you seek to achieve will come true in your life.
Take for example the ant. What are the main concerns of ants in life? Shelter? Food? Protection? An ant does not care about the size of its appearance or shape. There is no selfishness in the colony.
They all work together to support their queen, and in return, they get the colony for protection, food, and shelter. I guess you could say they work for a more significant cause than themselves. There is a much higher purpose in their area of existence, and sometimes I wish we could be more like them in the aspect of teamwork and altruism.
What would our world look like if we all worked together for a more prominent cause? How would it affect your life to be part of something higher than you, and here’s the clue: know it! How would that change your point of view on what is essential? I know that when I’m going through difficult times in my life, all I have to do is serve someone else who needs more help than me. Guess what’s going on?
My problems suddenly do not seem as important or as bad as they appeared earlier. I understand better how to get out of the situation in which I find myself. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and I can see that it is much closer than I thought.
So ask yourself: When was the last time you made a difference in the day, the life or even the business of someone else? What did you do this week or month to serve those around you?
My challenge is to take time this week and give it away to a neighbor, a colleague, a friend, a family member or a complete stranger, offering a simple gesture of service. Sometimes it can be as simple as a friendly smile!
Remember, there is always someone worse than you.
So take some time or your life to make a difference in someone else’s home. It will come back to you ALWAYS tenfold. Be part of a more significant cause than you, and I promise you, you will have more prosperity and happiness than you could imagine.
The Negative Side of Altruism.
Many people condemn themselves to the service of others; to make them happy and happy. I call it a sentence because it is a judgment that many people are unable to leave.
Sometimes we forget that we also have needs that are not yet met. It becomes a problem when you realize that it may be too late to go after your dreams instead of helping others get theirs.
However, many people start their search when they are ancient. Even if it’s never too late, it becomes a lot more tiring and less rewarding.
To be able to live their dreams, they must first have ideas. If you do not have a vision, then you will see that following someone else will increase considerably and you will eventually follow the footsteps of someone who is very different from you; just because they have dreams and whether they have achieved them or not becomes a matter of taste from one person to another.
This is something you should avoid as much as possible. You should not copy another’s dream and make it yours. You should find your goals.
But while helping a person with their dream, one could say that they will receive the same kind of help when it comes to their ideas. But it almost never works. There is no way that someone will help you in your thoughts. Otherwise, you will not be credited with everything you do. You must keep this in mind when trying to help someone else because it will not give you the credit you deserve either. You must be humble when you think, but still, have that sense of pride that would not allow you to follow something that is not entirely yours.
Instead of helping others achieve their dreams, you should pay a little more attention to yourself. You should know that you are the most critical person in your life, even if you think that you love others a little more than yourself. Many people are humble enough to think of their love as narcissism, but that is not quite right. For you to love and help and encourage others, you preach a lot what you practice. If you do not do it, then you work in vain.
It’s not always about being selfless. In fact, fair people get almost nothing if they strictly follow the rule that nothing is for them. I mean, the vehicle you drive serves you. Have you ever seen this car run without fuel? That’s what it’s all about. Your dreams become the fuel that helps you serve others; the only thing you need to inspire others.
