Your life is totally your own show; others are guests on it… - Reason 40


Do you know these long running TV shows or soap opera?  One of the tricks a producer has to keep interest is to invite known actors, singers and even politicians to take part.  Sometimes, the guest is more important than the actual actor of the show, but, still, it is not the guest’s show, but the actor’s.

Our lives are our own shows that run from that wonderful moment when we take birth until the time of departure.  Everyone else is a guest who features in it. 

Not everyone has that awareness, but for a leader, this is very clear.  On the one hand, it gives freedom and a leader can choose who will enter his or her life, and how.  That makes it easier to be surrounded by people who effectively contribute and who make life more interesting and challenging.

On the other hand, it releases everyone of blame: absolutely EVERYTHING that happens in a leader’s life is accepted as her or his responsibility.  So, people will be also free and light in the presence of a leader as it is all based on choice.
