Looking to Make a Change in the New Year? How About a Commitment to Serve?
With the New Year fast approaching, it is the perfect time to reflect on our lives and the direction we are going as we look toward the future. In term of a New Year’s resolution, why not think about what you can do next year to make someone else’s life better? Moreover that commitment will most likely end up making your own life fuller, richer.
Throughout the ages, philosophers and religious leaders alike have praised the merits of helping others. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote, "Somewhere along the way, we must learn that there is nothing greater than to do something for others." Moreover an old Chinese saying goes something like this: “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help somebody.” Even scientific research has found data to support anecdotal evidence that giving is a powerful pathway to personal growth and lasting happiness.
At New Mexico’s MorningStar of Rio Rancho, MorningStar of Santa Fe, and MorningStar of Albuquerque, we feel it is a privilege to serve seniors and seek like-minded people to help us achieve our mission. As MorningStar’s Founder/CEO, Ken Jaeger says when speaking to others about living a life of selfless giving: “Don’t wait to serve. Serve now. Today. Get involved somewhere. It will make you a better person (and if you work for MorningStar, a better team member). Don’t wait until your children are grown. Don’t wait until you retire. Give now, give generously. And just see what happens. For you cannot out-give God.”
If you have a felt calling to serve, we invite you to discover the rewards of working in a supportive environment and to join us in making a difference in the life of a senior. Please visit our website for a full listing of MorningStar’s assisted living jobs in Santa Fe and the Albuquerque area.
