DEDICATION is to assign oneself to something serious. It is to make a vow or devote oneself to a cause. IT IS A COMMITMENT WHOLEHEARTEDLY TO SOMETHING OF SIGNIFICANCE, SOMETHING MEANINGFUL, SOMETHING HONORABLE. To dedicate oneself to something HONORABLE is to be VIRTUOUS.
To be VIRTUOUS is to be a person of respect, honor, honesty, kindness, sharing. We can easily get caught up in the rat-race and become DEDICATED to fame, money and winning. Being dedicated to that we lose sight of the PROCESS, we avoid VIRTUE. To demonstrate the VIRTUES of KINDNESS and SHARING we allow ourselves to become VULNERABLE. A trait many of us try to avoid. Some consider VULNERABILITY as a weakness.
Being VULNERABLE allows us to DEDICATE ourselves to climb the mountain with others. It is more rewarding emotionally to achieve SUCCESS with others. To do the PROCESS with others is always an experience of LEARNING. The proper exercise of DEDICATION will always bring JOY to all involved.
DEDICATING yourself to ASSIST others, to offer KINDNESS to others, to RESPECT others will only come back to you with positive rewards. The CIRCLE is completed. When you demonstrate the VIRTUOUS traits you are DEDICATED to, your life will always be with others. Being lonely will not be an experience that you will know.
DEDICATION TO SOMETHING MEANINGFUL FOR ALL IS VIRTUOUS. It is just as easy to walk that path as to walk the path of self-indulgence. But DEDICATION to ALL is more FULFILLING.
WALK THE PROPER PATH OF DEDICATION AND EXPERIENCE THE JOY THAT ARRIVES.
TAKE CARE, STAY WELL, ALWAYS STAY HEALTHY. ALWAYS HAVE FAITH.
