AN ABUNDANT HEART

Let's talk about the abundance of love and grace.

I asked my husband if he has plans for me for Valentine's day. Maybe a trip to our favorite restaurant post-VD or chocolates with flowers. He said, "Honey, chocolates and flowers or grocery."

I hastily replied, "Grocery, of course." Our grocery items will always have some sweets with it in some form or another.

We always look at our love tank as something full or empty.

A wise person told me that, in reality, you're not really that empty and you're not that full.

You can't be too full because it means that you have no room for more love that shows through compassion, patience, perseverance, understanding, and respect.

You can't be too empty because somewhere along the way, you have decided to not care at all but yourself. Maybe your love skills are underdeveloped/underused or neglected.

We are always in the in-between situation where there lots of room for personal improvement, growth, and challenge. I don't like to be improving for nothing just to prove you have credentials, awards, and achievements.

I remembered one of the trainees in my class regretted attending the course because she thought she was missing out on new training programs and needed to update her skills and knowledge. Training for the sake of padding up your resume is totally a waste of energy. Because she also has a disability, the effort in taking the course became a liability as well.

Abundance is a good purpose to adhere to and this not just goes to finances, business, and entrepreneurship where dollars are screaming at you.

Abundance of love in organizations particularly in grace shows up in policies, programs, micro-practices, and culture that silently tells you that they care and they will simply do the right thing when presented the opportunity. 

What does the people in your organization say when you're not around?

How does an abundance of love show up in your organization?
