As I reflected on the life of our family dog, Sparky, I was struck by his gold standard of reliability.
Before Sparky went to doggy heaven, he greeted me at home every time I walked in the door for 14 years. To put that into perspective, that’s 20,000+ times without fail! The same greeting, the same panting with excitement, the same wagging tail. He was as reliable as, well, a dog.
So, it made me think about my own human reliability:
- Am I there for the people I serve every time they need me … without fail?
- When I listen to someone share a concern or need, do I really hear him/her?
- When I look at someone, do I really see them?
- When I say something, do I follow through with action?
- When I start something, do I finish it?
These are questions for each of us to ponder as we strive to be as reliable as our canine companions.
