Lord, as I grow older, I want to be known as…
Thoughtful, rather than gifted,
Loving, versus quick or bright,
Gentle, over being powerful,
A listener, more than a great communicator,
Available, rather than a hard worker,
Sacrificial, instead of successful,
Reliable, not famous,
Content, more than driven,
Self-controlled, rather than exciting,
Generous, instead of rich,
Compassionate, more than competent,
I want to be a foot-washer.
- From the book “Leadership Gold” by John Maxwell (Our staff has been going through this book together this year. I highly recommend it if you are looking for a great book on life and leadership.)
