Are You A Gap Filler?

 What is Gap Filler You May Ask? 

A gap filler is someone who has the ability and awareness to see opportunities and challenges around them, then fill them. 

When there is a gap in communication, someone has to fill the void. 

When there is a gap in leadership, someone has to fill the void. 

When there is a gap in love, someone has to fill the void.

When there is a gap in work, someone has to fill the void.

It is self-explanatory to understand that a gap filler, fills gaps. 

It is also very easy to misunderstand the importance and strength it takes to be a gap filler.

Practically this looks like covering a shift of another co-worker, looks like overcommunicating to others that may bring conflict upon yourself, taking the burden of hurt from others and their trama, as well as taking the blame knowingly when another leader falls short.

This is a heavy burden sometimes because you have to be the glue that holds seemingly everything together. But, take heart, being a gap filler is a special blessing. 

A gap filler sees those opportunities and challenges and automatically begins to see ways to fill them. A normal person sees them as complaints and/or runs away.

There is a tremendous amount of responsibility in being a gap filler, the work is hard, long, and constant. But the reward is better than anything on this side of heaven. Being the glue for other people shows how being a gap filler is a blessing.

When you know that a blessing is not for you, but meant to go through you to others is when you truly know the importance of being a gap filler.

Be the glue. Be a Gap Filler.
