Don't just stand there, do something...

Having lots of issues to raise. Too many things happened since last time we talked. So I will get right on with it ...

How about an organisation celebrating 100 years of its liberation existence, or the a mother dying on a stamped trying to enrol her child at varsity... All these and many more things have rattled my case and got me thinking "Reuben why are you here, no but really why are you alive?" Tough question to ask but what if there was something better than this.

How about those business opportunities I put off kick starting annually and shelving them for the next year. What if that idea will work, what if it won't ... but what am I doing, will I have another life time to see if it works or not?

Had a meeting with a manager at one of my client's business today. She was discouraged because her boss (my client) was not giving instructions or telling her what she must do... For once I sympathizewith her and thought "What an irresponsible boss this guy is..." but before I could finish the pity party, I thought of what one producer posted on his page this morning; it read "They refused to sign me, so I singed myself..." What? So off I went at the manager ....

"OK I am going to talk to you as a friend. Forget that this business belongs to my friend and listen to me as friend" (I was almost seating at the tip of my chair at this point..) "We as leaders are a  different brand, "I continued. "...we do not have the luxury to find a path and follow it, we have to make a path. We have to take an axe and chop down trees and make a way... " My point was you cannot just sit there and wait for someone to tell you what to do, do something. That's what makes you a leader.

Are you like that, friend? Are you awaiting for some instruction from somewhere? Are you waiting for permission from someone you can implement your ideas and make things work?  Someone must take leadership of your life, and guess what? It is you.
If you are waiting for any of us to do it for you, Well, you are in for a long wait. You need to get started and do something about your situation. Take initiative, knock on doors, start any movement around your situatin and effect chage. God created you with the ability to. Think beyond what you think is the solution and over up yourself for more possiblities. Do something.
