The Calling
| I believe that I have gotten it all wrong as a leader. Somewhere along the line I bought into the lie that convinced me it was my responsibility to originate, initiate, demonstrate, administrate, facilitate, moderate, aggregate, affiliate, congregate, concatenate, conglomerate, integrate, populate, proliferate, propagate, abdicate, quantitate, agitate, infiltrate, dictate, dominate, subjugate, instigate, ordinate, articulate, educate, reiterate, debate, restate, postulate and alleviate. When all along what God has simply called me to do is inspire. more... WHY? Because inspired people live life to its fullest. They see with high definition clarity while encircled by thick fog. They can smell a rose while standing in a trash heap. They hear the still small voice while gridlocked in a traffic jam. They taste honey in the bitterness of circumstance. They touch the hearts of those around them, even when those hearts are sealed behind an impenetrable vault. They seize opportunities with courage, resolve and a holy naivete that doesn't allow them to "know better". Inspired people inspire others to life... Who have I inspired today? |

post a commentI like your blog title and look. Gradient Thought has the same sense as Counterpoint - coming from, coming to - more spot-on purpose. I totally agree with your statement on inspiring others. Most of the time we try to motivate others to do something, be something, but the truth is we can't. We can only motivate ourselves. But we can inspire others as you say, but that's the harder row to hoe because it has to do with who we are rather than what we say, or rather usually tell others to do. Modeling. Clever idea.
