It is a must-read book for anyone in any service industry.
The whole premise is, just like the title says, longevity and long-term success in a service-oriented business is all about caring for people (customers and each other).
“That’s what alchemists do. They show that, when we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”-Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
TRUTH!
When we strive to improve ourselves, the AMAZING “side effect” is that we will improve those around us as well.
When you shine your light, you brighten everyone else’s day.
Don’t make the (all to common) mistake of thinking that moving toward your goals, your successes, somehow lessens those around us. That is a HUGE falsehood, and unfortunately, stifles so many people from achieving their goals.
Abundance is not limited.
If you are working toward improvement, and you do so with compassion, love, grit and not by stepping on those around you, you will help, not hinder others. On that note: If you achieve any success by pushing others down so that you may gain ground, that success will most definitely be short lived and shallow. (Most people do not fall into this category. I truly believe most people want to improve their lives, and not hurt others in the process).
So, today, work toward achievement, and take comfort in the FACT, your success only HELPS those around you.
I love this inspirational message Jessica shared with us today. GIVE with giving in mind 🙂
Serve for service’s sake:)
“We are most helpful when our care comes without attachment to an outcome.
Since others can pick up on the underlying energetic intention of our care, we are therefore much more nurturing when we act according to a loving and caring purpose. Assisting others in this way today will allow you to serve from your heart, and you will find that the love you give will have greater power to heal others.”
