"whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as ransom for many"
Mark 10:44
It's a hard lesson to remember sometimes. Riches and glory does not bring us greatness. Perfect grades or a huge social circle does not bring us greatness. Serving and being servant-hearted brings greatness. Humility and selflessness brings greatness. And by then, greatness isn't even the most important thing anymore. Love is. Love for others, love for God.
I think this is such a profound antithesis in the bible, but a lesson I'm still trying to learn and apply in all areas in my life.
My prayer is that everyone will adopt a servant-heart. It'll change your perspective on a lot of things in life. Even doing the dishes!
