The Soul Felt Its Worth
Friends who don’t celebrate Christmas wish me Merry Christmas. It’s generous and kind. I feel respected.
One website says “Oh Holy Night” was written by an atheist, Placide Cappeau. My reading indicates he was at least anti-church. Yet he inspired a phrase that sticks in my mind.
“’Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth.”
Worth is awakened.
Awaken worth
#1. Ask questions you don’t already know the answer to. Curiosity feels like respect.
#2. Give someone your full attention for five minutes.
#3. Name the good you notice. Don’t wait for perfection to notice better.
#4. Separate the person from the problem. “I believe you can overcome this issue.” If you don’t believe, reassign or remove them.
#5. Make what matters to them matter to you, while fulfilling the mission.
Deadlines, pressure, and deliverables distract from what really matters—people.
When you appear, do people feel their worth?
