I was asked the other day what my favorite job was. It took me a good minute to respond as I’ve been blessed with some pretty amazing jobs in my life. But the one that came immediately to mind was when I worked in Community Relations & Public Affairs for CU-Boulder and the City of Boulder.
Why? Because it allowed me to Be of Service every day. Whether Being of Service was putting together programs for those less fortunate, or sharing the stories of incredible people doing incredible work. There was a need for good news, and I was able to help create those stories. *
On a recent trip to Colombia, we participated in an indigenous ceremony. We were asked to let go of the negativity in our lives and set one intention for the future. My intention was to Be of Service.
Is there someone in your life who needs some support? Be of Service by being a friend. Is there someone in your life who has wronged you? Be of Service by showing them what integrity looks like. Perhaps you’re feeling a bit down and out, Be of Service to yourself by listing two things you’re most grateful for. Or maybe your business is thriving but you need an extra shot in the arm, pull your team together to Be of Service to your community.
It works in almost any situation! Why? Well, for me, it gets me out of my own head at least for a little while and allows me to think of others.
So, here’s wishing you a great day, week, (or even year!) of Being of Service!
