Day 186 of 365

Leading by Serving Others

“But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.”

Mark 10:43-45 (KJV) |

What This Means for You

Jesus turned the world's definition of greatness upside down. He said the way up is actually down. Real influence doesn't come from a title or a corner office. It comes from being willing to do the unglamorous work of helping someone else succeed.

Try This Today

Before your workday ends, ask one coworker or family member: 'What's one thing I can take off your plate today?' Then do it without expecting credit.
