Saturday Black Session Week 2

The Future

Who knows what the future holds, I don’t - no one does.  All we can really do is make the best possible decisions, and invest the necessary time and effort in improving ourselves and those around us.  I think the more and more we invest our time and energy in the service of others, we actually improve not only our own situation, but also those who are apart of our “sphere of influence”.  I constantly analyze how my life is going to be down the road, and I’ve come to one conclusion. Regardless of what happens, I know that success and happiness will be obtained if I live life through a clear lens; constantly striving to better myself by taking the charitable approach to life.  Can you imagine such a world without greed and pride?  Where everyone looked to help and serve others; never worrying about their social status, or how high up on the totum pole they were.  Think deep about this statement: “How can you not be successful if you always look to help others”?  The personal growth that comes through service to your fellow man is endless. The charitable approach leads to happiness in the family; happiness in the career; happiness amongst your peers; happiness everywhere.Therefore, it’s safe to say that you can’t go wrong with this more charitable approach to life, for it is a win win.-Dustin Hawkins
