The quote that I felt inspired to share today for my Index4Index Daily Inspired Motivation, by Thomas Kinkade, speaks of the sweet, nourishing fruit of a successful life, and the first step in getting there.
"Balance, peace, and joy are the fruit of a successful life. It starts with recognizing your talents and finding ways to serve others using them." - Thomas Kinkade
I find this quote so juicy and satisfying! It describes success in life in the larger, broader, deeper, and more whole or integral, context. A truly successful life includes and encompasses success across every domain and aspect of our human experience. The first step in that direction is also simple, elegant, and powerful: recognizing our gifts and serving others using them, which also inherently serves us as well.
When we are able to assist, help, support, and serve others with our unique and special gifts and magic, our hearts ring and sing, because we are living our purpose. Likewise, our contributions in the lives of those with whom we share our gifts are felt beautifully and profoundly, as if magic had its hands in our affairs, and indeed the whole of our life and dealings in the world take on a magical, miraculous, and synchronistic quality, infusing everything we do, and everyone we touch.
What an exquisite way to live our lives! Yes, thank you, and more please!
Remember, dear friends, that we are all in this together, that we rise by lifting others, and that together we thrive, so onward and upward, joyfully together! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨
