“We are here to add what we can to, not get what we can from life.” – Sir William OslerOne of the greatest lessons I have learned in life is that we are here on earth to give of ourselves rather than to take. We are here to give of our time, talents, and love. I know this to be true because the world’s happiest people are those who give, give, give–even when they barely have enough to get by themselves.
And that’s what Servant Leadership is here for. It re-trains us to focus on the needs of others rather than on our own needs. It teaches us that selflessness prevails over selfishness. Because when we direct all our energy into helping others, we benefit as a result.
