When we perform deeds out of duty or obligation, we feel a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment at having met an expectation. That is highly commendable. Having fulfilled that particular task and taken off from our list of things to do, we move on to tackle the next item; not sparing a thought for what has gone before.
In contrast when we purposely go out of our way to be accommodating, gracious and attentive whether with family, friends or colleagues and even undeserving individuals, something astounding happens with the choice we make from dozens of options available each day. When we choose to act from the heart, caring no longer becomes a burden or even a responsibility. The sheer joy of bringing peace, pleasure and imparting good will become all consuming; the giving of unconditional love fueled by unbridled passion, for the well being of another. You know you have touched someone's life in a remarkable and lasting manner. Strangely, both of you will never be the same again!
The heart sings; the spirit soars and the soul dances; that's the reward of intimate relationships.
Oh, to regard another individual as more important and precious than oneself is divine...
