Develop a Servant’s Heart

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

Well, I missed a few days. I was on vacation and tried to really be on vacation. Serving the needs of my family. Sometime this is hard to do.

While it seems easy to say that the money, success, and effort is your own, the truth is success cannot survive in a vacuum. You must be willing to give and share in that success and remain open to the needs of those around you.

“To whom much is given, from him much will be required” – (Luke 12:48)

We are in desperate need of those who will serve others. Each of us is gifted to accomplish this in some capacity.  From serving just one to serving many, to serving your own family to serving the needs of families everywhere, or as a business leader serving your employees and keeping their best interest at heart instead of your own. Developing a servants heart comes in many forms and to truly be successful you must serve.

We can not escape the condition of our heart.

Do unto others. To be a true success, you must care as much for the world around you as you do yourself. Though the moral reasons for this truth are obvious, there are also very simple, basic reasons why loving those around you will help you to achieve the success you crave.

No one reaches the top alone. There are those who you’ll find helping you along the way. Whether it’s your family or a stranger, you’ll be surprised at the people who will somehow be able to help you on your road to success. Like Dorothy on the Yellow Brick Road, you can’t afford to turn your back on the man who seems to only be worth a bail of hay. You simply never know when that person will be there to return the love you once showed them.

Failure Is Not an Option

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

“Failure is, in a sense the highway to success inasmuch as every discovery of what is false leads us to seek earnestly after what is true.” – John Keats

Failure is one thing and one thing alone. Failure is when you give up. While you will, no doubt, face many obstacles, dead-ends, and hard times, you haven’t failed. Success begins with picking yourself up, dusting yourself off and starting all over again until you get it right. Failure is an event, it is not you.

One way I look at it is – I was successful in discovering how something did not work. If you keep this attitude you will never fail.
