Albert Pike is quoted as saying, "He who endeavors to serve, to benefit, and improve the world, is like a swimmer, who struggles against a rapid current, in a river lashed into angry waves by the winds. Often they roar over his head, often they beat him back and baffle him." The Apostle Paul puts its this way, "We are cracked and chipped from our afflictions on all sides, but we are not crushed by them. We are bewildered at times, but we do not give in to despair. We are persecuted, but we have not been abandoned. We have been knocked down, but we are not destroyed." (2 Corinthians 4:8-12 The Voice)
Leadership is a fight. Those of us that find ourselves thrust into leadership are often struggling against a rapid current. We are cracked and chipped by a myriad of afflictions. Leadership is no walk in the park. It is often more like a cat on a hot tin roof. Nevertheless, we are called to make a difference in this world. In the words of that old African American song, we "have a charge to keep and a God to glorify."
So how do we accomplish this? Never loose sight of the significance of your role in divine change. There is value in the role you play in God's divine plan. He knows the plans He has for you. You are here to impact time for eternity. Please remember, there is always a "Rising From The Dust" for all of us. Therefore, "Rumba Young Man (woman) Rumba."
Anthony
