In the Long Train Runnin’
song the Doobie Brothers belt out, “Without love…where would you be right
now?” Life giving peeps and
leaders know the answer, nowhere! Relationships don’t grow without the key
element of love.
When people visit your
business or home do they get a sense that the people there really love each
other? Are they spending time
together not just doing business, but also doing life together?
Being a life-giving person
mean loving people and not just Monday through Friday. Hanging out together in
the good times as well as the ‘busy’ times cannot be faked on the weekends. It
must be planned into Google calendars, Blackberrys and smart phones. It’s not
hard to make the decisions to ‘be there’ when tragedy strikes, our emotions
override our calendars and we go!
To be life giving is to ‘be
loving”…as a lifestyle. It can be learned and planned, but only if it is
valued. Don’t be too busy to not, ‘be loving’. And as usual it starts with one
small act of kindness.
“Duty makes us do things well, but love makes us do them
beautifully.” -- Zig Ziglar
And do yourself a favor,
Be Life Giving!
