Wise words.

Respectfully, you might want to think about that statement. I say this from the perspective of someone who has often confused "service" with feeding his own ego (and who undoubtedly will do so again).

I firmly believe that if you are truly "called" to do something the opportunity will present itself. Meanwhile, you can look at this as an opportunity to practice patience, graciousness, and humility--qualities we all lack at one time or another.
