Being in the service of others doesn't always have to be as poetic as it sounds.  

Serving others simply means being a contributor to someone's life and making a difference, even if you don't know how or why.

Serving others steps you into a posture of possibility.  

Generously giving of yourself, skills, ideas, connections, or your ear might be what others need to realize their fullest potential. Then, they may turn around and be generous to you. Imagine what that might do for you?  

Our limiting beliefs are invented. What's real is our ability to help others.  

If you want to get over your limitations, consider finding more ways to serve others - even if it's just being a good friend.
