The desire to give

Your life’s work, the work you love, is what awakens within you when you are reminded by your compassion, your desire to give.  It will not come to you by focusing a desire to be better than others, by thinking about how you will survive, or by wishing everything in your life were easy.  It will come when you hear the call of your innate compassion for all of humankind. - Lawrence G. Boldt
