Someone with availability doesn’t just show up; they do so with a spirit of generosity and attentiveness, often setting aside their own convenience or agenda to support, listen, or contribute. Availability is a blend of reliability and selflessness.

For example, a friend who always makes time to hear you out, even when their schedule is packed, embodies availability. It’s not about having endless free time — it’s about choosing to be approachable and responsive, signaling that others matter.

It’s a quiet strength, showing up consistently without fanfare.

The opposite of availability is self-centeredness. A self-centered person considers his own interests first and is hardly mindful of the needs of others. If one is focused on himself, he may expect others to always accommodate him.

When he actually does help someone, he probably will expect that person to repay him for his good deed. Until he turns his focus away from himself, he will not experience the joy of serving others.

Do you have the gift of availability?
