Adapting to new circumstances in life, requires wisdom.
Transitioning from one role to another can be a challenging task. It requires a level of flexibility and adaptability that not everyone possesses. However, it’s crucial to learn how to dance through life’s transitions if we want to live a fulfilling life.
The funny aspect of this permutation is how you act and react in different life situations.
If you’re too inclined to be served at all times and don’t think you should try to reach a middle ground, then you have to think hard to change your selfish disposition.
I’ve had the pleasure of walking into some stores and restaurants where the staff is exceptional, and their polite and helpful attitude is second to none.
On the other hand, I’ve also experienced terrible service from some staff members who were only interested in making money quickly.
The bad eggs
In contrast, I’ve also run into very unprofessional service people in many stores and restaurants. That’s why most of the time I go into some stores (though not always) I first look at the face of associates before asking for their help. And in many instances, I avoid asking the same store person for help more than twice. The reason is just to avoid attitudes that might not sit well with me.
Sometime after once, they make sure they go far from you if they see you approaching them.
These people, according to my observation, aren’t there to serve their customers, but to make money as fast as possible.
Otherwise, these categories of staff would have behaved in a manner reminiscent of an article I wrote not long ago, titled: “Our Neighbors in Our Backyard.”
This article reflects how newscasters and the rest of them who appear on our TV screens, leave everything behind when carrying out their duties. Even when they might have left their husbands, wives, and others behind in heated arguments that could a lion tear a lion apart, I don’t know how, but they try to keep a smiling face!
They do their best at all times. More so when they find themselves in their workplace where they earn their daily bread.
What the Effect of Being Served Produces in Us.
When we’re used to being served, it can be challenging to shift our mindset and become the one doing the serving. It’s essential to find a balance between being served and serving others. This balance is what helps us grow and develop into better individuals.
TV presenters typify the "public eye" posture I'm painting.
It’s easy to spot the difference between those who are genuinely interested in serving their customers and those who are not.
The former put on a smiling face and leave their personal problems behind when they step into their workplace. They understand that their role is to serve their customers to the best of their ability.
Transitioning from one role to another requires us to be like TV presenters, anchors, and others who are exceptional service providers.
We must learn from them to leave our personal problems behind and put on a smiling face when we step into our new role. It’s not always easy, but it’s necessary if we want to succeed.
In conclusion, dancing through life’s transitions requires us to be flexible, adaptable, and willing to serve others. It’s not always easy, but it’s crucial if we want to live a fulfilling life. So, let’s learn to dance through life’s transitions especially when the table turns and embrace the changes that come our way.
