Following the Leader

Following the Leader

Most people desire to be leaders, but they don’t know that becoming one requires gigantic self-determinism, time, and vision.

When we start working as employees, we find safety in that place, and we are grateful that we are there.

We probably ask ourselves, “What if I haven’t even had this place because not all can make it here?” and they stop. Their vision is cemented.

They no longer have the vision to be the leader and have followers behind them.

The most common mistake is finding safety and being satisfied with who you are.

Michelangelo said: “I am still learning.” Yeah, that Italian genius said that. Don’t tell me you stopped learning and doing more. I’m not saying that’s bad, but please don’t get satisfied with minor success.

On the Path to Becoming A Leader

Once upon a time, you were a leader in your mind. Somewhere on the path to becoming the leader, you changed your mind.

You thought that when you finished your education, the desk and the big chair would be waiting for you, and you would command an enormous group of people in some corporation. That’s not happening, but it’s not hard to be a leader; it just needs lots of dedication.

If you think it’s hard, it will be, but if you have a strong vision of what you want to become, I assure you it will happen, and it will be a piece of cake!

On the first obstacle you see, you think this is it: I need to stop here, get my salary every month, and live on the lower level for the rest of my life. If you think this is right, I assure you it isn’t.

As we were kids, we used to see ourselves as creators.

We used to put the toys in position, making war between them.

The good guy always wins, and the bad guy, who usually commits fraud and cheats, loses. Because so many people don’t realize how life should be lived, they make it hard for the ones who do learn. If we don’t fall on these obstacles, we will succeed.

If you’ve seen the movie “Catch Me If You Can,” you would know this story; if you don’t, I assure you you should.

The story goes: “Two little mice fell into a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse wouldn’t quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out.”

Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse.” This is very simple. Life is a bucket of cream. If you don’t crawl or take some action to elevate your being, you will drown with the poor-minded and “safe people.” To me, there is nothing sadder than an unlived life.

Now you choose what you want to become, the first or the second mouse?
