Some people believe that good leaders are formed in the womb. I’ve often heard the phrase “Natural Born Leader”, labeled upon leaders that demonstrate good quality leadership skills. What is not acknowledged about good leaders, is that the day in which leaders decide to become good leaders, their world of leadership enlarges.

- The abilities of others become magnified.
- The strengths and weaknesses of their peers offer both vulnerability and opportunity.
- They begin to question their own ability.
- Their need to focus on the negative activity within their environment diminishes.
- They begin to embrace the possibility of their effect on the development of others.
- They begin to envision how good leadership can bring the best out of a persons performance.

It becomes very obvious, very quickly that the leader’s world has changed!

In combining bravery, faith and maybe even fear, these leaders are approaching new found levels of not only changes, but also challenges and commitments. Discovery can be a great feeling prior to the challenges of reality. The reality of what these leaders are approaching is life changing for both themselves, and those that will benefit from the growth of each leader.

Not everyone will be hopeful in the success of the development of these leaders. But these leaders should not be concerned, because challenge is the feast that greatness is fed, when change is welcomed. It is without doubt, that the committed leaders have welcomed change into their lives. The enthusiasm expressed in each leader’s approach to growth through self study, skill evaluation and skill utilization will mirror the leader’s level of commitment to becoming a good leader.

Not only will good leaders become looked upon differently by their peers, but their teammates will have an appreciation of their growth and effort. I believe that it is utterly impossible for a leader to grow without the leader’s growth being impressed upon those that are in the path of the leader’s actions.

As you have read, I believe that a “Natural Born Leader”, is not formed in the womb. This leader is formed in the mindful acceptance of committing to become a good leader, with good skills and a commitment to unwavering growth and development.

Personal development is often a wonderful experience. When you are committed to developing a particular skill or a better understanding of a welcomed topic, it can be very fulfilling. Often, when you embrace the knowledge and wisdom learned during your development, you are eager to share this experience with those that are closes to you.

While this idea is noble, it is not always welcomed. People grow at their own pace, accompanied by their own experiences. That new concept or breathe of wisdom that you have just embraced and are ready to share with the world, may need to be something that you keep to yourself for a while.

I believe that we can all agree that learning is a great opportunity. The challenge imposed in learning is both topic and interest driven. Not everyone has an immediate interest in the same topics of learning that you have embraced. Though learning is inevitable, it is also approached in a selective manner by us all.

Through my own experiences I have found that leadership development can offer a multi fold challenge. In developing your leadership skills, you are not only interested in sharing your new found knowledge, but also experimenting with those lessons on others. Acquiring quality leadership skills can be a powerful and enlightening experience. One chapter of wisdom can be a life changing event, when approached with an open mind.

It is admirable to want to share that experience with those that are closes to you. It is also admirable to not pressure your learning on others. As our life experiences are inevitable to cross the life paths of those that we care about most. Those lessons that we embrace to enrich our lives will be shared through our actions and practices of what we have learned.

Therefore practice what you are willing to preach and life will teach those that are open to learning in their own time.

If there was ever a time when the strengths of our minds are needed, it is today. Our minds have the power to accept the unattainable or encourage our possibilities. Possibility, is a gift that we give to each other, and to ourselves. Some people believe in possibility, while others believe in luck. I believe that we should give possibility the luck it needs to grow in our lives. Don’t mistake what I am saying to you as a belief that luck controls possibility. You control possibility.

Possibility, is a vehicle that is sometimes encouraged by luck, but controlled by those thoughts that park in your mind.

To most people, safety is the largest parking lot of our minds. Very similar to the parking lots of our communities, our minds vary in their tenants. But there is one important difference, which is dissimilar to the standardized costs in the entry to the parking lots of our communities. The parking lots of our minds, have costs that vary.

Often these costs are immeasurable in their effect and contribution to our lives. Though we may often believe that we are in full understanding and control of the effect and contribution of those thoughts that we park in our minds. I offer you a question, “How do you truly understand the effect and contribution of a mind that has the power to change its thoughts and acceptances instantly? While at the same time, being encouraged by the circumstances and actions of our lives”.

The answer is very simple, You Don’t!

It is an act of unfortunate thinking for you to even attempt to measure the effect and contribution of your thoughts. In its measurement you are imposing limitation on your minds development and opportunity in possibility.

I am sure that we can all agree that the minds development is a crucial factor in providing the maintenance of the parking lots of our minds.

Albert Einstein, a German born American Physicist and Nobel Prize winner, was once quoted as saying, “All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual.”

A key element that contributes to Albert Einstein’s quote is that in the opportunity exist the encouragement of mutual choice. When society offers the opportunity of according development, you in return, have the opportunity of accepting development.

While accepting the opportunity of development may not be the easiest decision to make in your life, it can be the most rewarding. In development we absorb experience, in experience we accumulate knowledge, in knowledge we develop wisdom.

Wisdom, wrapped in acceptance is one of the most powerful ingredients to be fed into someone’s life. So when you are thinking about accepting development, stop wasting time. Development, can be the greatest friend, to the rest of your life….!

What would you be willing to exchange for success?

Very similar to when someone has assumed a habit, the actions of eliminating even a simple practice to establish change in their life, can be challenging. Though success may be an important factor of our lives, we often give change the power to minimize our success. Studies have shown that the action of replacing a habit is more effective than attempting to eliminate the habit. Contrary to many of our beliefs, habits are not our enemies. They are the stepping stones of potential growth in our lives. Which is why we should be encouraged to offer our habits, well earned respect. 

In researching the definition of change, you will find it’s meaning to be, “something that is different from what it is or from what it would be, if left alone”.

Change often presents itself as an advocate of cost. This is why many of us will often discover that the cost of change is in the replacement of our habits or the acceptance of new beliefs. In order for us to receive the benefits that change offers us, we must welcome change with open minds.

Respectively, benefit is a soft approach towards stating the actual rewards of change. In change you will often find that its greatest reward is, “opportunity”. In landing on the footsteps of opportunity, through encouraging change to do its best work in your life, you will actually echo success into the many phases of your life.

So, to bring additional clarity to the primary question asked, we should be excited to ask ourselves, “What are we willing to exchange for change in our lives, to have success?”

What is your answer….?

I would love to know your thoughts……

The term “spending time” is often used to describe the moments that we share with our children. In analyzing the content of this often used phrase, we find that the word “spend” utilized in this phrase is defined as an activityof using up, exhausting, consuming, or the wearing out of our time. As a parent myself, I find that these words do not collectively or fairly represent the time I enjoy with my children.

I am sure that we can all agree that though this precious time often passes through our lives quickly, it is not supportive of the definition given to the word “spend”. I am personally more supportive of the phrase being stated as, “investing time with our children”. This is truly a time that is to be cherished. It is a time of preparation, development, learning and sharing that leaves impact on our lives along with the lives of our children.

Therefore we should all be very selective of the words we choose to speak into the lives of our families. The usage of words can be minimized by its suggested meaning. But the proper usage of words can be empowering when used correctly.

In the great words of Thomas Jefferson, “The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family”.

What are your thoughts about the best usage of words?
