The power of service

Hello everyone.

Having worked my last day at Carphone warehouse yesterday before entering into a break to launch my new career as a driving instructor, it dawned on me that the thing that I enjoyed the most was my power to be of service to the public.

Everyone is given gifts in the shape of talents and it is up to each person to decide whether to hone these talents or neglect them.

Those who hone the talents then have to decide whether to use it to be of service to the world or just to keep it to oneself.

It is an awful shame that the majority neglect their talents and even worse are those who hone them and then hide them.

I once read that the easiest way to overcome your own sadness is to go and cheer up someone else who may be sad.

I also read that you can get as much as you want in this world as long as you can give enough other people what they want.

With this in mind, I would like everyone to ponder a few questions with the hope that it may bring about positive change within us.

1) How could I be of greater service to my employer/ customers/ family etc than I already am?

2) How can I become a source of service to a larger quantity of people?

3) How would I like to be known or remembered in terms of my service to humanity and what steps can I take to start reaching this level?

I will end this post with a beautiful quote from Martin Luther King Junior.

"Everybody can be great because everybody can serve".
