But those who choose to serve will be undeterred because they are not obsessed with the fruit of their action.

Shout Out to Singapore!!
As you know I don't promote this blog. The doing of it has much more intrinsic value than it does extrinsic. I just feel compelled to come here almost everyday and share what I am learning, as crazy as that may sound. So I am perfectly okay with a readership on my stats of under ten. I am okay not knowing how many "followers" I have...(this site doesn't tell me..it constantly reads 'no followers' when I know I have some.) I don't really have a goal...like "I want so many likes or so many subscribers or 100,000 page views ( which btw I am close to getting...since inception that is). I am obviously not looking to, at this point, make money off it. I am not looking to get famous lol. I am here, I guess, as corny as it may sound, to serve. Serve who? Serve Self...which may equate to serving others who are travelling along this path and who might learn from another traveller.
I do, however, check the stats page daily. Sure ego is still lingering around wondering , "Do they like me?" and that may, despite my practice to go beyond "me" , still have something to do with why I check. But 'I am' also curious. I do want to know if I am serving in a useful way...if anyone is getting anything from this of value...or if the few talents I may have are being used in the most helpful way. Of course, ego sometimes pops in to ask , "or am I wasting my time?" Of course, I know that I am not wasting my time. I will do this regardless of outcome. The inner pull is that strong.
Anyway, every now and again I get hit with big numbers on my stats page. Anything over 100 per day, I consider a big number lol. Sometimes there is one country or area that is bringing in those large numbers. Over the last week or so that area was Singapore.
Sometimes, I will get big numbers from areas but obviously see that nothing was read..no recently read posts come up. (I like to review posts that were read so I can edit if necessary and it also helps me to review what I have learned.) So I wonder why and what was that all about...bots, highjackers or whatever?
Well, I see as the numbers come up, connected to Singapore, that recent, and more often, not- recent posts come up. It looks like someone is actually reading this stuff for whatever reason and many of those or that reader is from Singapore,
I want to send out a note of gratitude and connection to whomever is under that "Singapore" label. I also want to send out a note of gratitude for the other loyal readers who have been following me for as long as they have. ...who I may not acknowledge enough. Thank you. Thank you for being interested in this very important stuff....not for puny little "me"s sake ...but you know....for the world's. ( Corny, I know.)
Anyway, thanks.
