Overview

The secret to greatness is to be a “servant” of others.

Highlights

• To be great you need to “serve” your gift to the world.
• To serve your gift you need to “discover” your gift.
• When you find your gift, people will find you.
• Your gifts are not hidden, it is the “desire of your heart” your “passion”.
• You need to master your gift and be known for something.
• You are a “slave” to your gift, because you serve it so much to others.

Story – Mother Teresa

• She never went to college.
• Left her job as a teacher to help the poor.
• She became great when she found and refined her gift of helping others.

Deep Insight

• To be a “servant” does not mean “servitude” but rather to “deploy” yourself to the world.
• The future of a “seed” is not ahead of the seed but trapped “inside” the seed, your gift is trapped in you.
• What you are looking for is already in you.

Application

• Do you know your gift?
• What is your passion? What is your heart’s desire? These are signals to your gift.
