Be a ladder not a doormat

Be a ladder and help someone, being a doormat will help someone walk in or out but not reach higher. 

The ladder has no pride or ego. It does not say Oh, I was used by someone. It does not feel like a doormat!! It is as it is. 

Meditation teaches you to love others and also yourself. If you have ignored your own self, you are just a doormat. Standing upright like a ladder, not only do you connect the higher self, but also help others.
