Genuine leaders aren't people out there trying to get their name recognized but trying to make a difference.

 

It's work. Hard work. Some people won't like you. Others will criticize you. Others will tear you down. Others will look at you with suspicion.

 

But one thing about genuine leaders. None of that bothers them because they have a steely resolve in their heart and mind that nothing or nobody on earth can tear down.

 

They are honest with themselves and honest with others.

 

They have been through hell and back, spent time on the backside of the desert. Suffered loss and pain, all the while God is changing and re-arranging, purging and growing. Then sent on a journey, a mission.

 

They see what others can't see, hear what others can't hear, loves deeply on one hand but unmoved by feelings on the other.

 

Genuine leaders are genuine people and whether being pat on the back or stabbed in the back, they are unmoved by either.

 

Actually, they don't even consider themselves as leaders because they themselves are being guided and the only voice that matters to them is the voice of their Guide.

 

All other voices that seek to distract or destroy become just background noise.

 

Genuine leaders are genuine people who neither look for nor need the limelight.

 

Their light source is brighter than any limelight and it comes from within.
