> But if we should serve others, and together serve some common goal or idea - for any one you, what is that idea? And who are those people?
> In my experience, you will truly serve only what you love, because, as the prophet says, service is love made visible.
> If you love friends, you will serve your friends.
> If you love community, you will serve your community.
> If you love money, you will serve your money.
> And if you love only yourself, you will serve only yourself. And you will have only yourself. So no more winning. Instead, try to love others and serve others, and hopefully find those who love and serve you in return.
I have absolutely tried to hard wire the "choose how to think" into my brain. It is never easy.
His example of the swerving SUV racing through traffic maybe just possibly driving that way because of a personal emergency stuck with me. I don't have to assume the worst of people who are acting in a way I don't agree with, and to consider this anytime I'm getting worked up over something can be quite helpful.
In my opinion, it's one of the best graduation speeches of all time.
