Discovering your inherent purpose/ leadership.
Happy new year peeps it's been a while on this great platform and I think I have to start the year with a nice routine.
I would like to talk about leadership today which is not exercised simply by implementing techniques or method, by using one's skills, or by exhibiting a particular management style. It is the expression of a mind set resulting from the knowledge of who you were born to be.
We live our lives based on who we think we are and why we think we exist. Therefore, our leadership development to this point has been influenced by our sense of the significance of life and our relationship to it.
Discovering your influence purpose.
A true leader recognise that he has a special purpose for being in the world. That purpose determines the area of leadership in which he is to serve. His recognition of undue pride. Rather, it is a realistic assessment of his gifts and strengths.
Every person on earth in meant to exercise leadership in a particular area of gifting. One of the ways we discover our purpose in by recognising the gift we can contribute to the world and/or the problem we were born to solve. This process involves asking ourselves questions such as these:
*What are my talents?
*What would I like to do with my life?
*What do I most enjoy doing?
*What has been my lifelong dream?
*What idea do I have that refuses to go away or keeps recurring in my mind?
*What have I always wanted to do but never thought I would be able to?
*What injustice make me so angry that I must do something to alleviate them?
Internally motivated
Perhaps you have been using your gift to some extent but haven't really applied it with a sense of personal purpose. Or, maybe you have been burying your dreams, settling for a lesser existences. You may already be very accomplished different with your life.
If you pursue your true purpose, you will. Be internally motivated to exercise your inherent gift, in contract if you do something you were not born to do, you will you will have to make an effort to perform it. Maintaining your leadership position or your job will become a burden and a drain on you.
When someone is in the wrong place, he sometimes has to prop himself up with a surplus of support people and resources. But when he finds the place for which he was born, his life begins to flow naturally. He no longer needs to manufacture motivation just like @Therandomrewarder. He no longer needs to manufacture motivation, because he can't wait to start each day and initiate the next step that will bring him closer to seeing his purpose fulfilled. He has no other job than to put simile on the faces of my fellow peeps.
He's not even motivated by a paycheck, because a true leader has a need to fulfill his purpose, whether or not he receives compensation. Even so, he discovers that provision comes when he focuses on serving his gifts to the world.
If you hate Monday mornings, if you cannot wait for the weekend to come then you are a "jet." But if after a weekend, you are eager to get back to your (your corporation, artistic endeavours, volunteer activities, and so forth ) you are a "bird" and not just any bird but an eagle.
