The notion of stewardship.
We can approach life with many attitudes.
One is that everything I have is MINE, my time is MINE, my money is MINE, my stuff is MINE and I will spend all just the way I please.
Another approach can be to adopt the attitude that everything you have is a blessing, your time is a gift and the things you have are merely yours to accomplish a better outcome for you, your family and others.
This is the attitude of a Steward.
A steward sees time, energy, talents and money merely as resources that are on loan. These resources then need to be allocated wisely between family, work, service to others and other interests. With this attitude one does not simply squander these resources in selfish pursuits but plans ways that they can be utilized to their fullest.
Owning a business creates but these come at a cost. The steward weighs carefully the cost/benefit ratio to determine how best to run the business interests they have a stewardship over.
Acting as a steward as opposed to merely being motivated by our own self interest can be much more fulfilling. It takes time and effort to cultivate this attitude but well worth the effort.
A steward celebrates not only in their own success but also in the success of others. That is what makes all the difference.
Quite insightful.....

Thank you for the reminder..everything is just a loan & my life is for the one who Created me.
I will honor God in everything that I do.
Consuming & utilizing ourselves for family, work & for others need selflessness & when wisdom meet with it it's became stewardship. It's a very good idea to use this quality or attitude in business.
I like the idea that everything we have is a blessing. This way, sharing our resources to help others will give us happiness. Their success are our success too.
This is quite an enlightened position to take if only more people practiced this kind of approach
