When Service Is Bad

Personal Growth / 26 May, 2020 / Leave a Comment

Service how we know it usually implies an underlying expectation – a type of reward we expect in return from the person we serve directly or from life, whether it‘s love, appreciation, money or good karma. You might also help someone in order to have or stop a certain feeling; to feel relief, accomplishment or contentment, or to stop feeling guilt or discomfort.

Step one: If you serve, serve without wanting anything in return.

Step two: Serve without labeling your behavior as serving. See it as a neutral act, like brushing your teeth.

Toxic Habits To Avoid In Life

  1. Snoozing (literally lost lifetime = not spent being and not spent resting)
  2. Waking up like an “accident” (having no reason or goal for that day, not knowing what you wake up for)
  3. Blaming and complaining (instead of taking action and changing your own behavior or attitude)
  4. Not giving your all (not being yourself; holding back; not trying different approaches)
  5. Looking for No’s instead of Yes’s (giving yourself reasons against instead of for doing something)
  6. Self-Sabotage (e.g. procrastination or self-medication including drugs or alcohol)
  7. Trying to do everything yourself (give trust and share responsibilities)
