day Hero
empathize and validate the feelings behind what the person is saying, even if sacrificing our human desires to speak over one another, we add energy and encouragement to that person.
Serve in Your Area of Strength.
Psalm 90:17 tells us that God has established our vocation, “May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands.” We are all unique in our spiritual gifts, natural talents, and learned abilities. And when we use these to serve others with excellence in our area of our strength, especially at our own expense or even potential detriment, we become an everyday hero to the person we serve.
For example, a creative person with no interest in numbers may see his or her accountant as a hero every time another year rolls around and it’s time to file their tax return. An IT service provider is a hero to the technologically challenged person who can’t figure out why his computer or phone won’t do what he wants it to do.
What makes a hero is not size, stature, or supernatural powers. What matters is doing what we can to listen generously and to pursue excellence in the work we are called to carry out. Tese are just two of many ways we can be everyday heroes. Be on the lookout for the ways that others are serving. Tank them and tell them, “You’re my hero!”
At Ambassador Advisors, one of our core values is “demonstrating expertise,” serving our clients and fellow team members. We strive toward excellence in listening to and serving our clients and fellow team members. Give us a call today to let us know what we can do to be your hero!
