Do you ever ask yourself: “How can I serve today?” One of the simplest ways to get to your highest self (and out of ego) is to serve others. Leanne Ellington joins Amy for this chat and they each share how they have been selfish in the past (and sometimes still can be!) but they both now very much strive for and strongly align with this affirmation: “I am here to be truly helpful.” The desire to give (and not get) puts us in an awesome energetic state that leaves us feeling more full and in tune with who we truly are!
Amy shares 4 quotes about service that offer solid encouragement as you look for ways to serve others:
- “I start every day by wanting more for others than I do for myself. I think that is how God works, and that is how I think we have to work.” - Wayne Dyer
- “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” - Mahatma Gandhi
- “Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.” - Muhammad Ali
- “Our prayers for others flow more easily than those for ourselves. This shows we are made to live by charity.” - C. S. Lewis
Also, everyone give Leanne a warm welcome as Amy’s new ‘Outweigh’ podcast co-host! Whoop!!! ‘Outweigh’ is our weekly dose of service…we hope you’ll check out our “Two Things Can Be True” mini series that starts this Saturday!! 4 episodes will be released over the next 4 Saturdays. Then there will be a break with some interviews and then 4 more will start in late July.
