Your motto is service. Back on the farm, when I heard that the bull was ‘servicing’ the cows, I looked behind the barn. And, gentlemen, what the bull was doing to the cow is exactly what you people have been doing to the public all these years.
Will Rogers to the Board of Directors of Standard Oil, as quoted by Morris K. Udall, 1988Service
Is someone happier, better, or braver because of some act of yours today? If you can answer yes, then you can feel rather confident that you are progressing in the spiritual way of living.
If you can’t then you are not giving it the old college try and you are cheating yourself out of a lot of happiness that could be yours.
