NURTURING THE EXCEPTIONAL QUALITIES IN OTHERS

Philippians  2:3-4 says “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.” In nurturing the exceptional qualities resident in others, we are reminded of how essential it is to help others grow, achieve their goals, and live more fulfilling lives. When we take the time to encourage others in ways that help in strengthening their deterministic abilities while sharing insights which makes them to confidently develop their talents and that of those around us, we not only empower them but also create a stronger and more productive community.
