Choice


Your greatest power is the power to choose. You can decide where you are, what you do, and what you think. No one can take the power to choose away from you. It is yours alone. You can do what you want to do. You can be who you want to be.

You are searching for the magic key that will unlock the door to the source of power; and yet you have the key in your own hands, and you may make use of it the moment you learn to control your thoughts.  You can at any time decide to alter the course of your life - no one can take that away. Any person can choose to activate real directions of the self. It is true for every individual that at any moment he can choose to become himself. 
Nature is at work. Character and destiny are her handiwork. She gives you love and hate, jealousy and reverence. All that is yours is the power to choose which impulse you shall follow.  

You stand at the helm and know that you are captains of your fate and not a slave of fate - reaper of your joys and gardener of your sorrows.  A man sooner or later discovers that he himself is the master- keeper of his soul, the director of his life.  It is always your next move.

DYNAMICS OF INFLUENCING YOUR COLLABORATORS

DYNAMICS OF INFLUENCING YOUR COLLABORATORS In the just previous essay I pointed out the three major right attitudes the leader must have in his or her bid to influence the collaborators, which are: he or she must always come up with superior argument, be grounded in wisdom and knowledge, and be proactive in proffering solutions that make problems go away. However, today, I am going to be discussing the dynamics of influencing the collaborators and the point of influence associated with them in the progressive transformation of the cycle of leadership. In the cycle of leadership, the leader is given a goal to transform followers who got attracted to them by the leadership vision into becoming disciples who by a series of teaching learning of the principles that make for good leadership are transformed into collaborators who have eventually discovered their leadership purpose and are willing to either sustain the work being done by the leader or are launched out as leaders in order to ...

The Decision Factor

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. - Theodore Roosevelt “The value of decisions depends upon the courage required to render them. The great decisions, which served as the foundation of civilization, were reached by assuming great risks, which often meant the possibility of death.” “The majority of people who fail to accumulate money sufficient for their needs, are, generally, easily influenced by the ‘opinions’ of others.” Were the words of Napoleon Hill, in his book, Think and Grow Rich. He continued, “They permit the newspapers and the ‘gossiping’ neighbours to do their ‘thinking’ for them. ‘Opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who  will accept  them. If you are influenced by ‘opinions’  when you  reach DECISIONS, you will not succeed in  any undertaking ...

LEADERSHIP REFELCTIONS 19

The spectator syndrome has the most devastating effect on any leadership whose pioneer leaders allow the crowd to tell them what to do and what not. This syndrome creates the same effect created by back seat drivers who believe they know how the driver should drive. They talk with so much proficiency that could make you consider their suggestions, which is rather a distraction in a kind. Pioneer leaders should understand that distractions only come because they are focused and should never allowed themselves to be diffused into the words of those suffering from the syndrome. Every leadership is navigated by a game plan that only the leaders see. While it could be suggested that they are not doing what they are supposed to, it is important to note that their perceptive in the field of play differ from those standing aside and observing. In the football field, there could be a million spectators, yet only 22 players touch the ball. The players who score the most goals understand how to...
