Trust the baker!

This week I really enjoyed learning about ways that I am able to increase my networking. I really enjoyed the lessons on being trusting and how I can be a baker in life learning how I can better others at every turn and how I might be able to always think of others first. It is hard in our society not to think about yourself as the main or initial priority, for me it takes conscious effort to change my thoughts and really ask what I can do for this person or how I might help this individual. I always feel willing to help but then there is a built in status quo in my heart and mind telling me that someday this effort will come back around when I may need it in my life. I am starting to understand that this is not the purpose of service but a really good quote came to mind, “service enables you to grow and become more like Christ.” I really didn’t understand it before this week, service is not about Karma or a revolving circle that will help you in some way, but is about seeing the world as the baker, a person wanting to see the greatest joy out of something he has done, a person able to give everything they have for the end of happiness and pure love. There is no thought to one’s self when we trust, we give all of who we are to enable others to become more. When we do this we draw others like this to ourselves and form relationships of trust without doubt.
