Growing Strong in the Seasons of Life, p. 205
- Consistency.
Consistency: These folk are not restless flashes in the pan—here
today, gone tomorrow. Neither are they given to fads and gimmicks. Those who
impact lives stay at the task with reliable regularity. They seem unaffected by
the fickle winds of change. They're consistent.
Authenticity.
Authenticity. Probe all you wish, try all you like to find
hypocritical flaws, and you search in vain. People who impact others are real to
the core; no alloy covered over with a brittle layer of chrome, but solid,
genuine stuff right down to the nubbies. They're authentic.
Unselfishness. Mustn't forget this
one! Hands down it's there every time. Those who impact us the most watch out
for themselves the least. They notice our needs and reach out to help, honestly
concerned about our welfare. Their least-used words are "I," "me," "my," and
"mine." They're unselfish.
Tirelessness. With relentless determination they spend
themselves. They refuse to quit. Possessing an enormous amount of enthusiasm for
their labor, they press on regardless of the odds…virtually unconcerned with the
obstacles. Actually, they are like pioneers – resilient and rugged. They're
tireless.
