You say you want joy? Happiness? Contentment? Success? I have one word for you: service. Therein lies the rub. True service, in and of itself, for itself alone, without the need to be rewarded, is the key. "It's surprising how much you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit." Abe Lincoln said that, and Henry Ford said this: "The whole secret of a successful life is to find out what is one's destiny to do, and then do it." I offer you this article in love. Let the spirit of service guide you into your "best yet to come."
