Taking the Lead

When you hear the word taking the lead, a lot of people might have varied perspectives to what the meaning might be. As the meaning varies, however, so is the essence. but in this article, I will briefly discuss the true meaning of leadership within a small group and winning eventually.
Leadership to me is not making people do what they want to do, but making them do what they ought to do. The hard truth in life is that people don't do anything except they are made to do it. the normal human wants to be reminded what to do and some need to be supervised before they do anything. But in todays world a lot have changed. And if people must do what they ought to do, someone has to get out of his way to make them do that.
I have been filled with thoughts of what makes many leaders outstanding. I have reviewed few Spiritual, Societal, Political leaders and found out that one thing in common to all of them is that they tend to see ahead of the rest. they know one or two more thing than the rest. they seem to be awake while other are sleeping and they seem to be where others would not normally be, study place.
All these put together addresses the point why they are taking the lead.
Taking the lead amongst friends is very essentially an indicator of how you manage relationships. When your friends don't visit you, when they don't call you, when they seem to be so busy and forget you, do you ignore them and "Move on". what is your general disposition to friends and close relations? This is where your leadership strength is measured. This is your true meaning of leadership - Making people do what they naturally would not do and taking them to where should goo and not where they want to be.
Happy Thursday friends.

the essence of man

The Essence of a Man

by Judith A. Middlebrooks

The essence of a man lies not in his riches or status but in the strength of his backbone, spirit and word. For a man without, is like…smoke…dark smoke drifting in the night wind. The essence of a man permeates in his word, his thought, and deed. The strength of the spoken word, when done with love and warmth emanates an attraction so strong for truth that it reveals itself effortlessly. The essence of a man if envisioned is a thin flat silver ray of energy, spiraling, which emits tones that bind a man’s word to his spirit, credibility and integrity. When used positively these rays spin an invisible razor sharp blue light expressing perfection in word and love. The essence of a man deals not with size, shape or complexion but in, what energy do I feel from you Brother? Do we vibe? Is the energy good? Do you believe in God? Do you seem sane? Oh, I did say seem. Are you undercover psycho? Can I let my guard down around you brother? Whoa. The essence of a man lies in response to, do you treat me like you’d treat your mother, your sister, you daughter? This is a reality-based question in the game of life. If the answer is a dead silence or no, next move is…oh hell no this is not Monopoly, or a game show…this is life… so step. The essence of a man lies in his ability to step up to the plate and be a man. The decisions made dictate the life led just as intention creates experience. So I know what I have experienced is well what you intended for me Brother. Yeah my bad or yours baby. Follow heart, mind, spirit and soul for the higher good and be the man God intended. The essence of a man is the utter life force energy God chose to breathe into the soul of man, the light that guides, strengthens and loves. The life choices made by a man determine whether the light in that holy breath given to him, will get brighter with each moment or dim with each additional life experience. The essence of man is man. In all his glory and faults, hurts and pains sufferings and joy. Each man derives his own essence from the whispers from God given him during prayer and meditation. Don’t close the door on those leads, listen, and hear the word. Take the time to sit, be still and listen. Grow, create, live, love and flow brother. Brother listen; find your God given essence. It’s not about your house, your car, your cash and flash, your profession or looks and especially not your package. It’s about your backbone, your spirit, your soul, and your ability to feel and use this greatness. Black man, White man, Brown man, Asian man, man of every walk of life and nationality seek out your essence and flow Brother flow.
