Become Interested in People

“Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, ‘Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all.’ ” – Mark 9:35 Yesterday, I emphasized that making a meaningful impact requires us to consider the needs and desires of others. It’s important to recognize that everyone communicates and receives love in different ways. Jesus teaches us how to make the greatest impact and how we can become the best version of ourselves. He tells us that to be great, we must become the greatest servants. This is profound instruction. Notice that He didn’t say we should become slaves. I’m not suggesting that we turn into doormats or wallflowers. Rather, we should focus on what works to make a positive impact instead of what doesn’t. Positive reinforcement is effective, while negativity and criticism are not. Here’s an additional little tip that will work for everyone.
