“Everybody can be great…because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.”
― Martin Luther King Jr.
A pursuit of excellence doesn’t just stop at scholarship, the arts or athletic pursuits. It is also meant to include service to others. Giving of oneself without expectation of return.
Servant-hood.
The excellence with which you treat, care for and support others. How you affirm their ultimate value and importance to you and others just may enable them to recognize those traits in themselves. By making them the focus of your thoughts, your words and your deeds, you raise them up. And in the process, you cannot help but raise yourself up too.
Service to others is the tried and true method of connecting all of us together, in an unbreakable bond.
Excellence in this highest form takes no talent.
Just the will to serve.
