Five daily blogs about life's 5 big choices on five different sites.
After re-reading yesterday’s post, I’m having second thoughts about whether to continue down this path.
Why?
Because it feels like it goes against being humble, and it feels very awkward.
What is driving me, compelling me, to want to share this, is so that you see that I have no special privilege or talent.
I just work really hard. Hard work is the only antidote to life’s challenges.
And even then, it’s not 100% guaranteed.
But one thing is guaranteed. If you don’t try, you will never know.
Ever think about how you prepare for your day?
Going through the motions? Wake up, shower, dress, jump in the car and off we go.
Lemmings. The migratory animals that follow each other and when one jumps off the cliff, the rest follow, one by one.
Humans are like that too. Creatures of habit and heavily influenced by what every one else does.
When will I think for myself and have the courage to not only not jump off the cliff, but to steer clear of the cliff altogether?
Why do followers want passion?
Forgive me please. A few days ago, I promised to elaborate. So here it is.
Why do followers want passion? Pardon the boldness, but isn’t it obvious?
No. Seriously. Isn’t it obvious?
Who the heck wants to follow someone who doesn’t have passion?
Think about what it is that you admire in truly great leaders.
Passion usually revolves around wanting to do something very important, but with this caveat – to do something important even better. To do more of it.
And the funny thing is, the passion is so overwhelming, that others are drawn to it beyond their control.
Moses, Paul, Peter, John, Mary. Ya with me?
Jesus.
