Career Growth 1
ARE YOU LIKE ME?
By Paul R.
Lloyd
Do you find
yourself looking on while a stranger helps another stranger on the
street? Do you sit while others volunteer their time and talents? We
would have volunteered if we weren’t so busy, right? Fools stand by
and watch while angels rush in.
Perhaps my
biggest challenge has been to learn to bless others. Me, bless
others? What’s in it for me?
What do you
mean, try it and find out?
As I
reluctantly started to develop a servant attitude, I discovered the
joy of giving. I know I bless others when I donate money, but that’s
impersonal. The personal blessings I give to people are much more
important. When I see a smile of appreciation on a face of someone I
helped... ah, there’s the joy!
I seek to bless
others through my smile where once I never smiled… through a kind
word where once I was silent... through a friendly touch or a hug
where once I kept to myself.
Our challenge
is to bless others on a personal level so that we may receive a
mountain of blessings in return. The love and appreciation expressed
by a smile or a tear of gladness is the blessing I receive in return
for my actions.
I’m still
learning. How about you?
