"Humility"
from Heart of a Caregiver
by Paula J. Fox
HUMILITY is the Core Quality in the HEART of a Caregiver, the natural inclination to consider others first, and to want what's best for them.
The one who chooses this life of Serving and Caring for others follows the example of Mother Teresa, who was admired by the world and served the poorest of the poor...not with a "poor me" attitude...but with great Dignity and Joy.
If you are a Caregiver, you too have this beautiful Servant's Heart. Your deep desire to help others is at the core of your being and defines who you are. Instead of focusing on yourself, you are focused on the needs of those around you and are always looking for ways to help.
Sometimes the patients you serve are easy to love and bring you joy. Other times, you may be called upon to help those who are difficult and have no appreciation for the service you give. Those patients are often the ones who need you the most.
As a Caregiver, you are up to this challenge because you have chosen a life of Giving...a life of Serving...a life of Loving even the unlovable. You have a Heart that CARES.
Serving others is not a job for the weak. It takes individuals with great STRENGTH, fortitude and self-sacrifice to wear the garment of Humility. That's why we call them HEROES.
