Receiving through the act of giving

Being inspired doesn’t always come from something being done directly for us or by us learning how to better ourselves to move forward with our life goals.

Being inspired or feeling inspired, more often than not, comes from assisting others along our way. We are a physical being housing a spiritual entity. And as such our spirit soars when we help another simply because “that” is our true purpose. “How” we help others often becomes our life’s work or profession.

But many times, it is simply the little things that we do for one another that is the most rewarding to not only the recipient, but oftentimes, more strongly to the giver.
