Belief System Session: Your true life line is service
One of the greatest act of greatness is service. You will always be great to the degree you serve. #UpgradeMastery
Sam, your true life line is service. Service is the one thing that never goes unrewarded in this life and in the one to come. Those who are truly happy, wealthy and wise are always rendering service.
They are giving away their time, energy, resources, money, all and more through service. They plant trees in whose shades they may never sit under because they realise a life well lived is lived in the service of others.
Anything you do for you stays with you, anything you do for others stays with them. One thing that will outlive you is your selfless service to your world.
In the ancient text, we see the Rabbi commending faithful service in several of his parables. But one epic display of service was that of the four friends of the man sick of palsy. Now recognise that we live in a world where people are always about "what is in it for me".
Yet this man sick of palsy had four friends who will not abandon him but go all out to ensure that he was back on his feet again.
They removed the roof so they could drop down their sick friend to meet with the Rabbi who seeing their faith through their service healed their sick friend. But what kind of a person was the sick man, that his four friends went all the way for him?
Sam, it may not have been categorically stated but you can infer he was a person of service. That is the only reason he was not abandoned by his four friends.
You already know that the nature of people is to abandon the one who is no longer profitable and useful to them. But this person must have rendered service to each of the four friends that they felt indebted to him for life. His life life was his service.
Remember, the woman who broke her alabaster, the Rabbi said of her that as long as the gospel is preached, her name will be mentioned as a memorial. Her service got her into the gospel memorial for life. When push comes to shove, service becomes your only life line.
Three simple reasons why your true life line is service
1) It is leaves an indelible mark
2) it influences and impacts
3) it never goes unnoticed and unrewarded
When you miss the opportunity to serve, you miss the opportunity to be great. #DeepThinking
Those that will be the greatest must put in great service. Great service becomes greatness. #R4HL
Sometimes when you serve first, it opens channels for others to come through for you with service too. @wisdomcounselin
The only guaranteed win-win is service. No one actually lose with service, they always win. - Osagie Alex
On the Upgrade side of life, we encourage our Upgrade Mastery Practitioners to never stop service to their world through their personal brands and businesses.
When push comes to shove, it is those whose lives you have impacted and influenced through service that will come through for you. Your true life line is service.

One of life's hardest decision to ever make and pain to face is starting again. Once you do it, it can change your life forever. #UpgradeMastery
Sam, sometimes the difference in people is how they are able to overcome the pain of starting again. Life doesn't cut you slacks as you will expect and when things go south, you have no other option but to pick up the pieces starting again.
It may be a relationship, a partnership, an investment, a job, whatever it is once things go awry don't cry too much, wipe your tears and start again.
Sometimes until you really get tired nothing changes. Most people don't get really tired, they just adjust to find comfort with discomfort. #UpgradeMastery
Sam, are you really tired? This seem like a no brainer question but it is really important. You think you are tired but it will amaze you how you can find a way to become comfortable with your own discomfort.
When you begin to make adjustments to what you don't want, then I like to ask are you really tired? When you get tired of being sick and tired, some things begin to change for good.
No one will know what you are going through until you call for help. Call for help is not weakness but strengthen. #UpgradeMastery
Sam, do you feel shy or ashame to call for help? Are you still thinking what will people say, how will they see me, will they even believe me when I call, etc these and more will always hinder you to call for help.
Believe it or not, everyone at one point in their lives will have to call for help. So think it not strange when you have to be that one who calls for help, it is only a phase in life and it will also pass.
1) Sam, do you tell yourself the truth? Because if ever you get to living your truth, it begins with telling yourself the truth. #DevelopYou
2) So many people, haven't come to this realisation hence they continue to live a lie. They are "keeping up with Instagram", a far cry from their reality. #DevelopYou
3) The phrase "show up for the gram" seems to be the other of the day. True if you have got it, please by all means flaunt it. #DevelopYou
Forgiveness is never earned, it is received. Receive forgiveness and move on with your life. #UpgradeMastery
Sam, sometimes we punish ourselves unnecessarily with the hope it will help us earn forgiveness. Sadly, we were raised to earn things, so we also have this mentality that we must earn forgiveness.
It will amaze you to realise that forgiveness is never earned but it is only received. To earn something means you worked hard to deserve it, but interestingly and respectfully so, forgiveness is not one of such things you earn.
1) Sam, don't take for granted little mistake. To you it may be little, to another it may be very grevious. #Strength4Weakend
2) You just never know which little mistake that can turn the tide against you. You just never know. #Strength4Weakend
3) While you try to always do right, sometimes you end up making a little mistake. #Strength4Weakend
4) Sometimes the little mistake can just help jolt you back into reality. The things you never took important becomes crucial and critical. #Strength4Weakend
