The Best Way

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."
--Mahatma Gandhi

I love this quote as it suggest a sense of self lost until you help someone. The thought that you achieve a new level of you when you give of yourself, your time and resources. You have to stop and wrap your brain around this "losing yourself to find yourself". It suggests the more you lose yourself in helping others, the more you discover about yourself. As though you do not really know yourself until you strive for much good. The word "service" has an honest and honorable feel to it. It seems to go beyond helping or a once or twice action. It is a lifestyle. This quote is reflective, almost simplistic yet a bit complexive. In whole, there is no better way to see your true internal self, than through looking in the eyes of those you're serving.
