"I slept and I dreamed that life is all joy."

Imagine drifting off to sleep, your mind filled with visions of happiness and contentment. In this dream, everything is perfect, and you are surrounded by pure bliss. It's a beautiful thought, isn't it? To believe that life is nothing but joy, that every moment is filled with laughter and love.

"I woke and I saw that life is all service."

But then you wake up, and reality sets in. Life is not always easy, and it's not always joyful. There are challenges to face, obstacles to overcome, and responsibilities to fulfill. It can be overwhelming at times, but it's also an opportunity to serve others, to make a difference in the world.

"I served and I saw that service is joy."

And as you start to serve others, to lend a helping hand, to give back to your community, you begin to realize something incredible. Service is not a burden, it's a privilege. It's a source of true joy and fulfillment. When you put others before yourself, when you make a positive impact on someone else's life, that's when you truly experience the beauty of service.

So, let this quote be a reminder to you. Life may not always be a dream of joy, but through service, you can find joy in every moment. Embrace the opportunities to serve others, to make a difference, and you will discover a happiness that surpasses any dream.
