Sometimes the very things that I resent or detest are the ones that can or actually do make me grow. Those acts that are difficult to do because they require me to move out of my comfort zone -- to go where I would rather not go, to do what I would give anything to not do, to give what I would rather keep for myself. Those deeds that require me to extend myself outward in service and open my heart wider to accommodate others.
The fact is, the world does not revolve around me. Never did. Never will. And the moment I let myself be fooled into thinking it does, the path of service becomes overgrown with self-absorption and impossible to walk on.
