The Warrior Watch
March 18, 2024 - No. 24
In beginning to clean and purge some old files from my office, I found a scrap of paper with the following sentence - "Service is the rent we pay on our life." I know I must thought it was important, because first I wrote it down and then I placed an asterisk out to the left of the sentence.
Since there was no name written beside or below the phrase, I decided to find out to whom I needed to give credit for this simple, but profound statement - so 'google' to the rescue!!
While the exact statement couldn't be found, by me, in the first few clicks, I found these three that probably bore the statement that I wrote down.
Shirley Chisholm said, "Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this earth."
Muhammed Ali said, "Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth." and
Marian Wright Edelman said, "Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time."
Sometimes it is hard to not get lost and caught up in our own struggles and within our own deadlines and tasks. When I find myself in this trap, I work hard to step back and reflect upon the things I have to be grateful for and in the learning opportunities I have been given in my tasks. I then look for a way to be of service to another. Am I successful at this everyday, all the time? Of course not!! But for me, it's important enough for me to make it my 'work in progress'.
It seems I am not alone in my thinking and evidence shows me that I am not alone at BISD as I see so many of you serving others on a daily basis.
