A Body That Makes An Impact

In Stephen Covey’s book, “Seven Habits of Highly Effective People”, he discusses what it takes to really make an impact on an individual’s life. He looks at six significant areas:

1. Get to know and understand the individuals you have daily contact with;

2. Try to do the little things that make people happy;

3. Keep commitments;

4. Clarify your expectations;

5. Show personal integrity;

6. Apologize when you make a mistake.

As I read over these items, I believe if we would practice each one of these how effective we would be working with those we come into contact with on a daily basis. Placing our emphasis on others and taking a back seat is often difficult. But in the long run in reaps big benefits and rewards.

Each day I witness or hear about “random acts of kindness” and “individuals going beyond the call” as you minister at Central. The genuine care you have for people is awesome.
