Serve high and low

Albert Schweitzer said,"The only one among you who will really be happy are those who have sought and found how to serve".

Serving others is one of life's most awesome privileges. Before you become a leader you must be willing to serve,a person who doesn't want to serve cannot become a good leader, note: a good leader not just any leader, even if you find your way to the top and squeeze yourself there you won't be a good leader because you have refused to serve others so you won't know the tactics of being a leader.

Leading is not just about serving the high,it's also about serving the low,you must be humble enough to serve everyone, service comes with humility,if as a server you are too proud to serve even your leader how can you serve someone that is lower than you? You won't be able to,so when you become leader it will difficult to serve people you think are not in your class. A lot refuse to get this right that leadership comes with serving,you want to be a leader? Be ready to serve!. Someone once said if you are too big to serve you are too small to lead,if you feel you are big to serve people then you shouldn't be a leader,you have to serve high and low,rich and poor,and all categories of people.

You should be nice/kind to people when serving, attitude matters alot. Not just serving but the way you serve matters alot. It changes opinion of people about you,serve with joy not grumbling. Some might not be in that position(a known leader)but they are born leaders,they have this leadership attitude that they always want to serve anywhere they get to no matter the people they meet or where they find themselves,they don't want to know if you are poor or rich or maybe you are kind to them or not,all they want to do is to impact you with their service. Leading is like a bright light shining to everyone's path,so you must know as a leader you must be shining, your light must not be dim,others will surely follow your path,so you must be a good leader.

Let me mention the different ways to serve that will make meaning to people's life or that will impact life greatly;

• Serve with joy in your heart.

• Serve with understanding; like understanding the situation on ground.

• Serve both the high and low

• Be humble, don't think you are better than anyone else.

• Serve without expecting anything in return.

• Serve with passion, genuinely.

• They are not self-serving;not what they want for themselves

• Serve with pure love; brotherly or sisterly love,there is no commandments greater than this.

In conclusion;

We must know that while serving we must help others,we must not think lowly of them,if we cannot serve we cannot lead because leading is only for people that can serve without pride .
