"being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one"

From this morning's radio programme on Volunteer Vision, I relished the insights into the organisation 'Tools for Self Reliance' with Glyn Roberts.
Also the following heart-resonating George Bernard Shaw quote:
"This is the true joy in life...being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one...being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy...I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live it is my privilege to do for it whatever I can. I want to be used up when I die. For the harder I work the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It's a sort of splendid torch which I've got to hold up for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations." (‘Dedicatory Letter’ from Man and Superman, written by George Bernard Shaw.)
