Sometimes it is necessary for the human soul to step away from the nonsense and craziness of the world and give yourself completely to others by serving them. Not only is it important that we serve those who we are supposed to, like in our jobs, families, or clients, but rather we should serve everyone we see and treat them like a friend! I have found during my first week here that a smile and a complement can change someone's day! By caring about others, we realize how much good we can do with such little effort.
We also have the opportunity to serve others more formally. We can use our gifts and knowledge that we have to help people who are not as fortunate or educated as us. It is very important to be humble. That way we are able to learn from others when they know something that we don't. Here, I have learned many things about the culture! I try to be open minded and willing to try and accept practices, costumes, or even different ways of life. By dong this, we can relate better to those we are trying to serve and they will open up to us, allowing us to make a difference in their lives.
We cannot have fear to mess up when we try to serve others. Sometimes we have to be outside of our comfort zones in order to reach the people that need our service. I belive that if we try our best to help others, we can! It is something that takes practice, patience, and a lot of humility. We must accept our flaws and focus on our strengths in order to make a difference in the lives of others.
