you tell me to live.

The past sunday at church my pastor asked the question, in passing, "does the way in which you live bring life to the people around you?" He didn't elaborate much, but i think it's such a thought provoking question that, if asked by ourselves every morning, could bring a lot of changes in our daily lives. In order to bring life to the fragile barren lives around us, i think we must:
-have a servant's heart. Help people without being asked, be willing to do annoying or mundane tasks without complaining. Be willing to serve others in many ways.
-be energetic. I think a lot of people (especially students) fall victim to laziness, falling into a routine of going to class, watching tv and sleeping. If we were to be motivated, energetic, and task oriented i think that energy would be passed on to those around us. It's as simple as inviting people to go to the gym or for a run with you.
-be open and honest. I think when we're real with people and real with ourselves, a lot of respect is generated. Also people feel more comfortable around honest people who are willing to listen and who don't place judgment on everyone.
-be an example of love that is not conditional or shallow. I mean like, really love people.
-invite others along for the adventure. Live life to the fullest, and make a few good friends to help you live it out.
