Just a week before Christmas , I called up a friend and had a chat with him . Then came a question " so have you bought new clothes for yourself since it's Christmas ? " My reply , " I've decided not to get anything new for myself but to give away my money to those who really need it " . He continued " you should bless yourself first before blessing others ! " . His reply took me by surprise ! I guess this is what he was trying to explain ;
Serving others ? Serve yourself!
Have you met service providers who are frustrated, tired or just burnt out?
They may look frantic or exhausted. They may sound sad or just plain bored.
Their pride in service has faded away and their passion has all but disappeared. They are just going through the motions, watching the clock, earning a living and waiting for the day’s demise.
Have you met one of these tired men or women? Have you ever been one?
Serving others is the essence of a fulfilling business and social life. But service requires a contribution, an exchange of energy between two players.
You can’t serve others well unless you’ve learned to serve yourself.
If you are too worn out to serve with a smile on your face and a glow of goodness in your heart, you need rest and rejuvenation right away.
Do what’s best for your customers – and for you.
Take a break. Serve yourself !
