People want success, so help them win! I think everybody wants to win and I think most people do not win on a consistent basis. I think because of that; their self-image goes down, their confidence goes down.
Moreover, things that they could do they don't do and the person they could become they don't become because no one wants to continually lose their way to success you can't really do that.
You have to get some wins under your belt. You have to get some victories. If you look at the Old Testament on David, David did not just one day walk out of the woods and slay the giant. He did not take that giant leap from being that little shepherd boy into being the giant killer. No, he had some victories before that. While he was a shepherd, one day, a bear came out of the woods, and he had the courage to kill that bear that was killing the sheep with his slingshot.
Another day he killed a lion, so he had some wins under his belt before he met the giant. So when David met the giant, it was not a big step, it was the next step.
You see success is all about several wins, several steps are taken, 'I did that pretty well, I accomplished this' and you kind of step your way up until the moment that you get well known as a giant slayer. Once you get to this point, it is not a big deal to you. It may be a big deal to others because they saw you take down the big boys, however, for you, it is not as you been winning for a period of the time.
So help people, help your team. Help them get some wins under their belt. It will improve their confidence it will make them more secure and make them bolder, and someday they will get to be a giant slayer. As a servant, there is no higher calling.
