Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time. – Marion Wright Edelman
This isn’t our culture’s view. “Helping others” is either something you do in your spare time or that you’ll do someday once you’ve achived your definition of success.
“Service” needs a better PR campaign. I prefer to reframe it as my mission, my calling, my vocation. What am I here for? That’s a full-time gig that I can get behind.
