Volunteerism: Love for Life

Posted by Victoria Anisman-Reiner Nov 29, 2007

I want to share with you an excerpt from a recent e-newsletter sent to me by Dr. Deborah "Taj" Anapol, author of The Seven Natural Laws of Love. I hope this excerpt is as helpful and apropos to you this holiday season as it was to me:

"One of the main things I’ve learned in the last year is: It is always better to volunteer! What I mean by this is that if there are certain experiences coming your way, you can embrace them or resist them. As many of you have no doubt discovered, resistance is painful, but embracing may be a bigger stretch than you can say “yes” to at that moment. Sometimes you can sidestep the whole ball of wax by taking some action which moves you beyond the crossroads you find yourself at, which moves you out of harms way and off in an entirely different direction. It’s as if you have entered another dimension, a parallel universe where that cross roads has become a rotary with new roads branching off in many directions. This is what I am calling volunteering – discovering a previously unseen road and high tailing it down that road without hesitation. "
