An irony of life is that the less self-centered you are the more content and satisfied your life is.
Imagine going to an amusement park every day for years to ride the most awesome roller coaster. The thrill you get the first few times would quickly dissipate and you would have no lasting satisfaction. Years down the road you would look back and consider it a waste, nothing gained.
Now consider the opposite, helping and serving other people in ways that better their lives. While it may not be adrenaline inducing you feel a long lasting satisfaction. You can look back years later and still feel content about the good you’ve done.
Helping and serving other people brings lasting pleasure and satisfaction.
Enos spent his life teaching and encouraging people to stay close to God. At the end of his life he said he “rejoiced in it above that of the world.”
What are you doing today to help and serve others?
