It is a great paradox of life. The absolute best way to "find yourself" is through service to other people. Since the early days of mankind there has been this inner desire, a hunger, to know ourselves. Who am I? We want to know who or what we were created to be. The most prominent spiritual leaders all teach that the most effective method for self discovery and spiritual enlightenment is to serve others. It is not to spend hours, days or years in solitude, meditating or reading and studying. Simply, the more you serve others, the greater you come to know yourself. The most successful business persons in the world have all written in their biographies that the key to self knowledge and understanding is to serve other people. It is an accepted truth that to truly know oneself we must lose ourselves in the service of others.
