Our Paradigm of Service

Give - Grow - Transform

When we say GiveGrowTransform, we are speaking directly to making our life more alive and full of meaning through the process of giving to others and often, being stretched by the process of service.  Service can give us the experience of growing, transforming and living our fullest possible life, but this is an ongoing, daily practice.  In any given moment it requires the alignment of yourself with your values.  It requires positive alignment between you and those around you.  And it requires an ongoing commitment to growing harmony between the multiple communities of which you are part.  If we keep our intention focused on serving others, in the end it is likely that life will turn out to give us great meaning and joy.  The true reward in this process of serving is helping other people shine, even when it is not immediately visible to us.  When this is achieved, we receive the deep gift of joy that can sustain our service for many, many years.
