ABSOLUTE CONVICTION

  ABSOLUTE CONVICTION https://www.spreaker.com/episode/absolute-conviction--72129666 The shadow of doubt has been creeping into the corners of our progress, hasn't it? We talk about moving mountains, but we hesitate at the pebbles. Today, we close our cycle by examining the Red flame of Imani. We often think we need more information to succeed, but usually, we just need more conviction. If you feel like you are standing in place, check your foundation. Is it built on what you hope for, or what you know ? Call to Inaction: The bird that stops flapping its wings doesn't fall; it glides. Release the frantic need to prove yourself to the world. What if you just stopped trying to convince others of your vision and simply lived it? What fear is currently masquerading as "prudence" in your life? What "need to know" is actually just a lack of trust in your own internal compass?
Giving good speeches/
does not necessarily/
equals leadership/

It seems that we have confused the concept of leadership, with a good orator. Leadership for me is not about being able to loop together good sound bites, but more about being able to do, and make things happen. I have seen many a great speaker that when it came to crunch time could not lead him or herself to the restroom. I have also run into leaders that could not string together a good speech to save their life, but knew how to command a group. Then of course you have those who can do both.
I just wanted to speak on this subject because I feel that the people of the world today are being given talking head leadership. Individuals who have been selected for their positions because they could recite a good speech, and move some emotion. It is time that we move beyond that, at least those of us on the Journey. We need to begin judging some of these so called leaders on what they have accomplished, rather than what they promise.
Nuff said
peace & 1hunidyears
