"Man becomes great exactly in the degree in which he works for the welfare of his fellow men" Ghandi
Today's service focuses us on what it means to serve. Particularly, when our human hungers of power, control and affirmation desire to be satisfied.
"Every human being needs some degree of power and control, affirmation and importance, as well as intimacy and delight. We know of no one who prefers to feel entirely powerless, unimportant, or untouched in life. Yet each of these normal human needs can get us into trouble when we lose the personal wisdom and discipline required to manage them productively and fulfill them appropriately" From Leadership on the Line, by Ronald Heifetz and Marty Linsky
