Take Responsibility
Our focus this week — July 2–8: “Service”
Today’s MotD: Take Responsibility. We’re encouraged to take responsibility for our motivation behind serving others.
Are we doing it from a place of authenticity ? OR…
Are we doing it so that we get something in return ?
Are we doing it so that others become dependent on us ?
Are we doing it to avoid taking care of ourselves ?
Are we doing it to avoid taking responsibility for our own lives ?
Are we doing it without realizing that we not really helping the situation ?
Are we doing it without realizing that the receiver may not want the help we’re offering ?
These, and questions like these, are all valid questions. They help us better discern any underlying motivations that we might be overlooking.
Our challenge becomes serving others from a place of authenticity, that respects both the giver and the receiver.
How about you ? When it comes to serving others, helping others, what’s your motivation to do so ? What’s your reason for doing so ? Is it authentic ?
BTW…Here’s the before…the front and back view of today’s puzzle piece and the pretty ceramic box that holds all my numbers from which I randomly choose each day’s puzzle piece number:

ABOUT THE 2025 Mandalas of the Day
Throughout the year, I’ll be building one large (48”x48”) Tibetan-styled Mandala one piece at a time…one puzzle piece at a time, that is. The mandala design and the reversed puzzle side were printed on artist-quality watercolor paper. The forward facing puzzle side was printed on a 48”x48” wood panel.
Each day, at random, I’ll be painting in watercolors one of the 365 watercolor puzzle pieces, that by the end of the year will become Archangel Mandala #4. Read more about the Archangel Series. The word/message for each piece will be inspired by Melody Beattie’s book “52 Weeks of Conscious Contact”.
Ultimately, the message of this mandala is about how we are all uniquely part of the one.
