Life Can Be Confusing
“Truth, like gold, is to be obtained not by its growth, but by washing away from it all that is not gold.” – Leo Tolstoy
The answers to life’s big questions are so simple, most people will never discover them.
And when you are at work, are you and example of great leadership or a warning for what not to do?
Yesterday’s post asked, “What do followers want”?
What was your answer? Mine was simple.
Passion!
Followers want a leader who has passion. Passion to make a difference. Passion to do good. For other people.
Ever wonder why people do the things they do? Ever wonder why you do the things you do? I do. Tomorrow, I’ll share my “why?”. Let’s compare again. Not comparing to see who’s right or wrong, simply an exercise to get us thinking.
“An unexamined life is not worth living”. Why are you here? What’s your purpose? Carpe diem.
What do followers want?
Ever thought about a question like this?
Ever think about it long enough to determine a firm answer?
Why not try it right now. Think about this question.
Tomorrow, I’ll reveal an answer and we can see how closely we think. Carpe diem. 
The question, to the answer, “To Love and Be Loved”.
Drum roll please……………
“What is the meaning of Life”?
Before our son was born, I had a dream where I was about 65 years old, and our son, now eight, was older, maybe in his twenties, and he asked me, very seriously and deliberately, “Dad, what’s the meaning of Life”?
And I looked at him him the way everyone looks when asked the World’s most important question – dumbfounded, confused, and embarrassed – and said,“Hmmm. That’s a great question. I don’t know”.
Or worse yet, I attempt some long-winded answer, that is just a disguise to my ignorance and lack of forethought and preparation.
“Pathetic”, is the first thing I thought of as I analyzed this dream.
“How can you not know, Dad”? My son sadly asks. “How can you not know after all these years”?, he mutters.
Then I wake up. It was only a dream. Thank God it was only a dream.
Or was it? Hmmm……. Carpe Diem, jeff noel
