Surrendering Selfishness

There are times it's good to be selfish.
There are times to let it go.

There are small moments in every day when we have the choice to be selfish or selfless.

Almost every day presents an opportunity to take for ourselves, or to give to another - which brings us mutual gain. Practicing the small moments build the spirit. Small selfless choices result in a kinder society.

You can pour the last cup of coffee into your cup - leaving about an inch for the next unfortunate who reaches for the pot. Or you can take the extra 120 seconds to start another, knowing you will receive a small favor some time soon.

You can stand in line, eyes fixed forward, with your basket full of groceries while the person behind you has only a gallon of milk. Or you can wave them ahead, and watch their surprised-thankful face and share a smile.

Small moments, small opportunities to grow. Little things that make a big difference.

This week I will be alert for the chance to treat another with kindness,
instead of being focused on myself.

Past Meditations:
