Rukmini Vijayakumar Instagram – Day 21: #100daysofinnergrowth
What I’ve been trying to do recently is to consciously step out of myself to do something nice for someone else. Something that they least expect. It is certainly true that the satisfaction of doing a good thing for another person serves me well at the end… because I leave happy. But, it also means that I’m slowly learning to extend the idea of “me” beyond this one individual.
It’s sometimes something very small, like opening a gate or waiting in a traffic signal. And other times it’s become more thoughtful…. (I don’t feel like sharing what I’ve been doing) … but they are actions that have taken time, thought and effort…
And these actions have no material/ emotional benefit to me… only the satisfaction and joy of doing something with someone else’s comfort and happiness in mind.
This one is really growing on me 😊

This picture isn’t in the book… but it’s beautiful nevertheless.
