Off to Serve

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others

Richard Galentino, Hidden Spring

What a delightful little book! Richard Galentino from his background in welfare and development organisations, writes in support of people moving out into service to “volunteer, teach, donate, create, contribute, build, help, lift-up, develop, give back, and make a difference in the world”.

Paola Bertolini Grudina appropriately illustrates the verse. Encouragement is summed up in the quote from Mohandas Gandhi: “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.”

The author concludes with the request:

“Change yourself and the world for the better, just don’t forget to send home a letter.”

John Atkinson
