Day 3: Availability

Day 3: Availability

Availability is the third character quality, according to Bill Gothard. He states that one should consider "making my own schedule and priorities secondary to the wishes of those I am serving." Availability is the opposite of self-centerdness. It is making yourself useful to those around you in order to help them. A mother is the best example of availability. The mother changes her schedule on a daily basis in order to accommodate those around her whether it is her children or husband.
In the college setting one could volunteer for a local organization. In the end, you will find that helping others really helps yourself. And if you needed help, wouldn't you want someone there for you as well?
