Putting yourself third means making yourself the third being you serve every day. First you must serve God, then you must serve everyone else, and only then may you serve yourself. IT is a mantra to remind yourself that you are not the most important person in the world, God is, and everyone else should come before you.

How I did it: I didn't do it, he did. I had a crush on him for a few months but never told anyone or persued it--i in fact did the opposite. But he had other ideas, and I am very glad he did. Read how I did it…
How I did it: For some reason, I don't think it had anything to do with me. I think it had everything to do with being in the right place at the right time, and giving him his sweet time to do what he wanted and not thinking about him. Also, the five hours we spent talking and holding hands beforehand may have given him a pretty good hint. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I laid down in the snow. That was about it, and then I went out right when the snow was falling and it was sticky enough to build on. I don't really want to write 150 words, I think this is self explanatory Read how I did it…

when i was in peru three years ago i saw the most beautiful display of stars that i have ever witnessed—it was as if God stuck a chandelier in the sky and all the lights were hanging there, flickering and winking at you. Behind the stars that one normally sees are tiny lights that are more stars and more stars behind those, and infinite amount. I think that i would trade electricity in just to see those stars again. It was the most beautiful thing i have ever seen.
