Silver linings.  You enter into a project with one goal in mind, perhaps to help others.  What you don’t realize is you are helping yourself.  The greatest silver lining of any project is when it brings you to awareness of the greater Self.  This happens by default as your project aligns with the attributes of the Self:  love, loving kindness, generosity ….  as altruism overtakes self-centeredness, you cannot help but see, find, feel your connection with others … the connection that lies beneath the surface.  Bring it on, this project you have been putting off.  It may be the greatest blessing of your life.  You are so very loved.
