Serve Someone: In a crisis, it is easy to get disoriented. We begin to question what we are doing. Is it working? Does it make a difference? One thing that stays constant – we can add value by serving someone else. This rule never changes. It works while we are working – from anywhere. It works well in our homes. It works well as we video chat. When we are serving someone, it helps. When we are serving others, we are thinking less about our own worries. It makes us feel better. It makes the world better too.
Lesson to Learn: Serving others is never out of step – even in a crisis. When we serve others, we add value to the work we do and the people we care most about.
Answer for Me: When I am serving someone else, I am doing what I can to improve the situation. It helps the business. It helps the people I interact with. It makes my life better. It gives me something to smile and feel good about.
Action: Find small and large ways to serve others. In a time of crisis, this is appreciated even more. We are all just people and we want to be cared for—even if it is nothing more than a smile and genuine concern for our wellbeing.
Daily Habit: Make time to serve and care for others. Slow down to ask people how they are doing. Find small ways to show you care each day.
