Selflessness requires courage.

Making a sacrifice is forgetting about the self. It is taking time away from worry, fear, anxiety and pain. It is becoming busy doing and being someone who makes a difference in the world. Sacrifice is the ability to give away to another with no expectation that anything will happen other than the opportunity of being of help to another. When we offer service to others it is a space of sharing and many times there is an expectation of receiving something in return; that’s why getting a haircut, eating in a restaurant or having the oil changed in our car are called services.-Selflessness requires courage. This is because sacrifice and selflessness are based on loving another more than we love ourselves. But if we are not meeting our own needs for comfort, safety, affection, and happiness it isn’t possible to make a true sacrifice. Not caring for our needs and worrying about the needs of others is a form of martyrdom and emotional enslavement. It arises from the belief that we can only be happy if we make everyone around us happy.-True Sacrifice is the ability to exchange oneself for another- to be with others where they are instead of where we wish them to be. If someone is sad it is more of a sacrifice to sit with them in their grief than to attempt a healing in order for us to feel better about where they are. With sacrifice we learn to be a compassionate witness to another’s journey through life, supporting and validating how they feel and what is happening for them at the time.-Sacrifice arises from devotion. This is devotion to Great Spirit, to a spiritual master .It is seeing a need and being drawn to fill that need because one sees the face of the Beloved Spiritual Master in the suffering countenance of that brother or sister. We do not practice sacrifice to change the world, we practice sacrifice to heal ourselves.
