In the celebration of spicing up our daily feedback, Wednesdays are now Paper Feedback days. This paper feedback was ‘giving feedback to yourself,’ sounds dumb, but ended up being rather profound.
I struggle with a lot of things and am pretty hard on myself so I had plenty of feedback. But what it all boiled down to is that I’m Selfish, there I’ve said it. I’m selfish with my time, who I serve, with my thoughts, with my words.
My teammates brought some awesome feedback to the table and gave me some ideas:
Ways to be more selfless:
– Don’t do [insert whatever here] from [this time to this time] devote yourself
to doing a task at hand and forcing yourself to find something to do.
– Pick one daunting task and commit yourself to do it everyday (washing the dishes,
cleaning the room, cleaning the boys room, blah, etc)
Ways to be more of a servant:
– Instead of cleaning only my dinner plate after every meal pick
everyone’s plates up and serve my teammates that way.
– Learn something you’ve never done before and serve my teammates that way.
(ie making a pot of coffee for my coffee addicted teammates.)
The rest of the week I put these suggestions to practice.
My race is almost over. My safe bubble with all my Christian teammates and our Christian conversations and Christian advice is about to come to an abrupt end. I’m about to be spit back into ‘the real world’ with the devil and distractions. I pray I never stop the sprint down the narrow road to my Jesus.
