A Time of Reflection


Having a difficult time deciding where I belong. Not in the general sense - I am a proud father and husband and derive much joy from spending time with my family. However, in the grand scheme of things I am struggling with where I belong. It could be the 21 days of rain and counting. It could be the current state of work. It could be my ongoing battle with the flu. It could be my constant wondering - "Is this where I belong?" or it could be the lifetime of insecurity - hoping others will accept me - allowing me to fit in and know "This is where I belong"

Have been thinking a lot about the reasons leaders choose to become leaders. I know no one ever got into public life or into a leadership role not to do good, I just wonder sometimes if that is really the best way.

Leadership comes in many forms but good leadership is the same no matter what form - it's for the right reasons and it inspires everyone to want to follow - because they are excited about where they're going. Maybe that's why i am struggling right now - no excitement about where i am going.

Time to dig deep and realize it's an exciting ride everyday - i just need to open my eyes.
