Leadership is a quality, a discipline, a vision that starts from one’s self. Every human being has a leader in him/her. In simple terms, if you are a free thinker, you will decide your choice from among various preferences, through which you lead yourself lifeward. This is the basic and most essential trait/attribute in a good leader. This includes various specifications like Decision making ability; Communication skill; Self consciousness; Self motivation & Self confidence.
When we know what we want in life and what our priorities are then the decision making power creeps and crawls into our words & actions. This is because when we know what appeals us, the vision of goals and destinations becomes sound and clear. With uncertainty in mind, no one can have a clear vision & mission.
If ever you find impediments infront of you, instead of avoiding it, get over it. It makes you feel more confident and gives you the feeling of being a winner. If you haven’t yet got over the problems of uncertainty in decision making, start doing it now from the simplest of simple situations in life. As we grow through experiences, we learn to identify what is too much for us, what is too little for us and what is exactly the right quantity and quality for us.
Decisions made by even the most prudent man need not be always correct. A decision/choice is the outcome of circumventing situations. As situation changes, decisions may also change. So there cannot be an ultimate right and wrong, except in case of crimes. Dare to take decisions for a long term.
Role of communication in success is that if you can’t communicate properly to yourself, you can never meticulously communicate yourself to others. So understand the value of written and verbal communications. Every word holds a quantum of energy. While putting right words together at the right time to the right person makes you a good orator and a distinguished writer.
Before getting to higher levels, stop for a while and think whether you have done justice to yourself. Have you ever had a talk with yourself? If not, before making any decision, listen to your inner voice, the words of soul. Speak to yourself in silence and analyse your strengths and weakness, potentials and limitations. When you realise what you are, then you can decide what you want to be. This is called self consciousness, the knowledge about one’s self.
When you decide what your goals and destinations are, dare to speak about it to people around you. By doing this you are giving commitment to yourself and to the world, to prove yourself. Take up the challenge and walk ahead. Here is where you require self motivation. Because in life’s journey you made your decisions and so aligned responsibilities are also yours. To keep your pace steady, be self motivated rather than leaning on to the shoulders of others. Nobody can and will shoulder you for a lifetime. Face challenges. Behave matured. Grow up with your age. Let this growth be emotional, mental, spiritual and intellectual. Kick start your days with a purpose and urge to give out your best and do your part with faith in your abilities with a true heart, in a sensible manner. This is what we call self confidence. If there is no road already laid, make up your way.
Don’t bother whether anybody follows your path or not. But live upto your expectations by giving out your best. Do justice to your life on Earth as a rational human being. Let your words and deeds work out for good of all and at the end of the day when you turn back let your life be a garden of beautiful relationships and wonderful memories rather than pain, tears, anger and regrets. Because ultimately that is what counts and that all life is all about.
AWAKE THE LEADER IN YOU AND DISCOVER HOW THE DIVINE INNER SOUL LEADS YOU TO YOUR DESTINY. DARE TO TRY THIS BEFORE YOU SAY ITZ NOT WORTH A TRY....!!!!
Hey there Anju,
ReplyDeletemy personal view seems to be that young people are being bombarded with negative self-destructive ideologies one of which is "I follow no one"! which is embracing an idea of "I lead myself" usually to destruction.
you wrote "when we know what we want" well most people don't and takes a lot of work to discover exsactly what that is.
