Service

An attitude of service makes us constantly aware of the needs and yearnings of others. We instinctively respond to those needs and desires just as we instinctively respond to our own. Often the most powerful forms of leadership is that of the servant-leader, who rather than promoting self seeks to nurture and empower others, modeling humility along with vision and clarity of purpose. One of the most important questions in life is what and who we serve. This question is at the very heart of our life’s purpose.

Judgment - Service - Harmony - Openness
Receptivity and sensitiveness are what makes one’s behaviour endearing and enriching. Do not try to thrust your likes and dislikes on others. Try instead, to find out what those around would expect from you and where you can possibly contribute. Rather than feeling conflict or confrontation every time, look for and generate greater notes of harmony.
