The One Where Phoebe Hates PBS
I recently watched this FRIENDS episode; Joey was inspired by Phoebe giving birth to her brother’s triplets and gets a gig with the PBS telethon. This sparks a debate between the two that there are no ‘self-less good deeds.’
Phoebe then goes on a failed quest to find a ‘selfless good deed.’ I was working out when I watched this episode and coincidentally… workouts bring about my best thinking! (See last week’s post on meditation here.)
Self-less Good Deed vs Selfish Good Deed
I really don’t think there is any difference, do you? I bring up this episode, first… for fun, and second… to share who truly benefits when giving any type of service, EVERYONE! And I don’t think there is anything wrong with that!
Giving service can be a great way to show our gratitude and there are also benefits!

What are some ways you live to give service? I’d love to hear from you!
