Being of service to others. This does not mean take on their responsibilities, or allow yourself to be taken advantage of; rather, it simply means assisting others, often and generously, when it feels right to do so. You will know it is right because you will get that sense of satisfaction and empowerment, unique to the practice of giving for the sake of giving, and serving for the sake of serving. When we leave our egos behind and focus on being of service to others, we strengthen the gratitude within.
