MOVING FROM SELF TO SERVICE

Nikki Lerner, one of our two special guests from a recent Escape Pod video call:

“If we’re honest, as creatives, sometimes we got a closet with a door, full of things that we never moved on. And we never moved on them, not because we had discernment, but because we couldn’t move from self to service.

And now it’s all stuck in the closet behind the door. You know it’s there, right? And somebody’s like, anybody got a rice maker? And you’re like, nope, I don’t got nothing. But you got six rice makers in the closet. You know what I’m saying? Because you’re hoarding it. Let’s not hoard our gifts.”

Imagine if moving from self to service opened up a whole new world for others, and not just your own work?

I attended one of Nikki’s choir performances, and the room was filled with friends and family of those singing. Nikki moved from self to service by organizing this event, and by doing so helped others to not hoard their gifts.
