It's In You.
We are humans and often times, our human tendencies always kick in and we show our flaws to everyone. We all have a thing we are dealing with and that is the truth. Just because you never had someone come openly to you to admit it doesn’t mean we don’t have a thing or two to deal with. I always say that you might be seated next to a broken person and you wouldn’t know it.
I watched season 5 and episode 16 of empire many years ago and something resonated with me while watching it. Someone saw two male artists about to square up and he had to speak with them. He told them that whatever it is they are dealing with, they have to leave it buried; deal with it and still find a way to work together in spite of it because the audience also came to escape their troubles for a minute and they needed to be entertained and make it worth it. He further said the audience also has things they are dealing with and in spite of those troubles, they still came out. That struck me.
We might not know what the other person is dealing with but definitely, he or she also has something to deal with. The more we come to know humans, the more we come to admire a dog, hahaha, someone said that. The more we come to see humans; regardless of their positions and power, we get to see that flaw. No one is perfect and more so those we have come to respect.
As humans, we need to work on ourselves. We are all leaders. Many people have this erroneous idea that being a leader means those who are high up there. You can be a leader where you are. You don’t have to always take that front row, but the moment someone counts on you and someone’s well-being depends on you, I would say you should see yourself as one.
Being a leader has to do with your inner being. Being a leader has a way by which it will transform you in and out. You should be a better person for those who count on you. You should be a worthy example too.
You cannot lead effectively if you have not dealt with the things you are supposed to deal with. As a leader, you also need to heal. Heal from whatever hinders you. Heal from the things you are supposed to. To heal also means you have to deal with your flaws and better manage them. No one asked you to be perfect but you know yourself better than anyone, so you know the things you are supposed to improve upon.
Deal With Your Fears:
Courage is not the absence of fear but the presence of fear, yet the will goes on. It is okay to be a bit fearful but never get to the point where your fears inhibit you from achieving your true potentials.
When a man allows life to inhibit him, he will see others living the life he dreams of and he will also see others going to places he desires. Never allow life to inhibit you. Never allow fear to rule your life. When a defining moment comes, you better define that moment or else the moment will define you. Once fear begins to rule you, then you are incapacitated.
No one will know what you are capable of if you don’t stir yourself up. If you have to do something afraid, then just do it!
How Do You Deal With Your Fears?
Act From The Motivation of Love:
Whatever you do, learn to do it with love in your heart. You are not created into this world to impress anyone. You should be a primary character in your life’s story and not a secondary character. Fear will always set in when you try to impress others. When your motivation is not within but from what others think, then fear will set in.
The moment you are motivated only to serve and become a blessing unto others, and then you can dispel your fears. Stop trying to impress those who might not even be looking at you. Act from the right motivation. Once the motivation is right, fear will definitely run.
Power:
With greater power comes greater responsibility. When you have developed yourself well enough to command that respect, your fear level reduces. You need to use power to achieve your desired result and not live your life only to just become powerful. Being famous doesn’t make you relevant. You might be so vast in speaking Latin language but that doesn’t mean you know how to speak. You might have taken a vow with your spouse but that doesn’t mean you know how to love. Age doesn’t confer relevance or maturity on anyone.
