The ability to lead is not a given right, but earned through experience strength, patience, belief, value and true Character. The earned right to be a leader is in the approach of courage, understanding, and ability to speak to the issue at hand while being true to the company and co-workers and themselves. Someone who throws their weight around and dictates to others what they should do is not a leader, but a dictator.
The Leaders that you want to follow are ones who have walked the road themselves and understand the journey. They also understand the people who taught them along the way and now teach others to do the same. They must also create leaders from the people they teach.
The leader’s approach of “I am only effective if we are all on the same page for the same reason” creates innovation and collaboration in the people they lead. Being approachable, listening, and respecting and valuing the thoughts of others and then knowing decisively what to do with the collective thought, defines a leader.
For anyone to wants to follow a leader they must first have respect for them. This comes because of an” I believe in you” attitude and inspiring confidence in followers. How many employees do not live up to their worth? A leader should bring out in the individual an ability to strive beyond the surface of their potential and succeed beyond their expectations.

Positive attitude creates possibilities in everyone; everyone success is everyone’s victory.

An authentic leader’s habit is everyone else’s habits. Lead by example, stand by what you believe in, your company, your employees, your products. Be excellence and inspire excellence in every one you work with.
A leader is popular during the good times, but what happens when bad times knock on the door? If the leader has inspired faith, respect and loyalty in every one in the company, then solutions will be collectively found because of the united strength and mutual benefits.
Value yourself and place value on those around you, as it speaks to the brilliance that you inspire in others. Everyone no matter what wants to be valued for whom they are and what they do, and should always be acknowledged for that.
To gain power you must first empower. Being powerful is not strength and power can lead to disruption if they need to lord over others. The strength you give is the empowerment you receive.
Leadership is a journey of life in life, in order to be called a true leader one must respect the journey and inspire followers to walk along side of you. You as the leader step up the plate and representing your people and their interests in order for them to believe in you enough to follow you anywhere.
Being a true leader will mean others will want to emulate you now and long after you have gone. This truly marks your success, being remembered and respected for your value on the people you lead.
Talent, passion, need, conscience, and a personal voice is the right of every one, and a true leader will open the door through teaching, listening, valuing and nurturing the strengths and possibilities in the people for whom they direct and guide.

Someone has written these beautiful words.
They are like the ten commandments to follow in life all the time.

1] Prayer is not a “spare wheel” that you pull out when in trouble, but it is a “steering wheel” that directs the right path throughout.

2] So a Car’s WINDSHIELD is so large & the Rear view Mirror is so small? Because our PAST is not as important as our FUTURE. So, Look Ahead and Move on.

3] Friendship is like a BOOK. It takes few seconds to burn, but it takes years to write.

4] All things in life are temporary. If going well, enjoy it, they will not last forever. If going wrong, don’t worry, they can’t last long either.

5] Old Friends are Gold! New Friends are Diamond! If you get a Diamond, don’t forget the Gold! Because to hold a Diamond, you always need a Base of Gold!

6] Often when we lose hope and think this is the end, GOD smiles from above and says, “Relax, sweetheart, it’s just a bend, not the end!

7] When GOD solves your problems, you have faith in HIS abilities; when GOD doesn’t solve your problems HE has faith in your abilities.

8] A blind person asked St. Anthony: “Can there be anything worse than losing eye sight?” He replied: “Yes, losing your vision!”

9] When you pray for others, God listens to you and blesses them, and sometimes, when you are safe and happy, remember that someone has prayed for you.

10] WORRYING does not take away tomorrow’s TROUBLES, it takes away today’s PEACE.

To a point I agree that money can be evil, the problem is not the money but in how we see it use it and value it. If we could have the same value on people planet and life as we do on money then we would have some equality of life. We all need money to afford good health a nice home a quality of life and to fund our purpose, we would be lying if we thought we could live without it, I have tried and believe me no money is painful as is hunger bad health no shelter no value on one self.

Imagine how we can make the world a happier place with positive money!
It is ok to have a nice home, car life style as long as you are doing it for you and not to impress people. It is great to have all of these things if you work ethically and do not become a slave to your work. It is great to be able to travel and see how others live, it teaches you value of your lives. It is great to be rich if you enrich some else at the same time. It is fabulous to be able to spoil your family friend’s people you care for as long as they feel comfortable with it and you are not flaunting it in their faces and even if they are not rich do not feel poor in your presence.

So how about we give money the same value and importance that we would a good friend a family member or our selves, respect it for what it allows you to do, value the work effort and ethics you put in to require it and spend it not to please or flaunt it to others, but to do good for yourself others and a cause bigger than you. For when you give back you receive forward something more special than money, a joy of the purpose of life.
My mother gave me some wonderful advice growing up, but it took me too many years to learn it.
The value you put on your self is the value people take you for.
So walk in YOUR value and not the value of what money can buy and rejoice in the true value of your soul and its riches.

It is a grind every day to keep the faith in what ones believe in. Not because it is hard to believe in it but because of all those that don’t. If I could stay on path moving in my direction and not have to keep being diverted to others agendas I might be able to stay on track.
It can be difficult to have to please people in order to get what you believe in moving in the right direction. They do not see it as I do, or want it like I do. Their agenda is different so it is hard for them to be the energy that is needed but become the Gail against us instead.
So I switch off all out side influences and focus on my belief and ask the Gods to guide us through the Gail to smoother roads ahead. He does listen if you speak to him in your own conviction of truth and un- wavered belief. The powers do lift you up and carry you forward if you are in the right mindset and not allowing other influences to derail you. If we go of track it is not their fault but our doubt or frustration that gets in the way of the flow of positive movement.
So next time you get mad, sad, derailed, stop, just stop, vent let it out then pull all your positive energy of belief trust and purpose back in to your soul and allow your self to be guided forward. We are human not all of spirit, so the human way is to get mad, and it is hard to stay in spirit when one is mad, so let it out, spend it and dismiss it, it does not make you any less spiritual, but releases your human frustrations.
Can you be a spiritual human? Yes, but some times there are 2 sides to us and the harmony especially when on a big journey of discovery gets tested and you do split your self in to until you can get back into a harmonious oneness. Nothing wrong, just a journey of soul awareness and spiritual alignment.
Those that have found that tranquil peace did not do it over night, nor get there easily. It is a journey of ups downs and of letting go all that is not needed in a harmonic life. No one is born at one with ones self, well maybe they are but life’s conditioning quickly beats that out of us. And when you decide to take the journey you have to undo all that environmental conditioning that has been bombarded into you all your life. So give it time, it is work, faith, belief, and liberating. But it can be done and is most certainly worth the journey, for living in that peace is so at one with your self, the Gods and the universe it is heaven.
I found that peace and lived for a short while in my heaven, but was sent back here to do a job enabling others to follow. Some times it is hard because I want to stay in my heaven with other peaceful beings like me, instead I am dealing with negativity and insecurities in people who don’t want to be enabled and it wears me down. Walk away you say, would love to, but for some reason have to stay and make it work, So I look to my heaven and ask for strength to walk forward in my truth and purpose in hopes that one day I would be able to go home and live in my peace again.
Don’t fight it, if you feel deep within you a disharmony a feeling of discontent, a lack of belonging, then courage up and start making the journey, for in the end, you will be a whole person in body mind and spirit and know the truth you seek and except the love that is trying to embrace you.
Get mad let go regroup believe and embrace it will be wonderful just take your first steps forward and don’t look back.
Good luck and feel with your soul, understand with your heart, and trust with your mind.
We live in a beautiful vibrational world, seek its peace and harmony one person at a time.
