Thoughts of the week

Hi guys,

Have been rather sick for the past 1.5 week (caught a flu from a colleague, and it became a full viral infection after I ignore it for 3-4 days)

I began to regret not seeing a doctor the moment my flu got worse. Because of that, I got to endure dunno how many more days of running nose, "sexy" voice and the worst of all... phlegm.

Anyway I feel that it is rather appropriate to post what I read from the Leadership files by Dr.Phil Pringle. Enjoy and do apply it in your lives!

**** (my brief comments in blue)

Rest comes in a deserted place.

Where no people are. (Solitude with God is one of the best way to recharge yourself. Note: THIS IS NOT BEING EMO ALONE)

This is immensely difficult for a leader;
- to come aside from their work,
- to locate in a deserted place alone,
- to remain there for a while,
- to rest, that is to stop working,

However, this is an art that must be mastered, otherwise the leader's faculties will wear out.

They will render themselves useless.

Rest adds up to recovery, creativeness, energy.

Find a deserted place, go there and do nothing.

A miracle will happen!

In other words, Dr Phil is not asking us to be slackers, but to learn how to deal with our worries and burdens in the right way - that is, trusting in Him to help you get the job done once you have already did what you can!

A Burden...
A follower will not understand what a burden of God feels like, as a follower is not willing to carry the heavy burden of responsiblities a leader will have.

Moses' hands were weary but he has his armor bearers holding onto his hands.
A leader needs his/her armor bearers.
I know who are my armor bearers, but yet many arent.

What it takes to be an armor bearer? To me, it is not about "what you have", but rather "are you willing to?"
It is not about "what you can do for your leader" but more on "how much loyalty and love do you have for the one God place above you?"

Only by being a true armor bearer will you then become a true leader.

A self-centred man will never be a leader, the most he can be is a domineering tyrant.

I wonder how many leaders do I have in W300? Or are most of them merely followers?

A thought to ponder for the week.
