Happiness has a Cost

“Sorrow happens, hardship happens, the hell with it, who never knew the price of happiness, will not be happy.” Yevgeny Yevtushenko

Can we relinquish our insistence to have power over our experiences and see that life is richer as we choose power through our experiences no matter what they may be?

Leading 24/7

Leading is a constant for all of us. The opportunity for leadership is ubiquitous not sporadic. Every time you behave or think, you are having influence or impact on yourself and those around you. We would like to think that leadership is something that happens occasionally, but it truly is a 24/7 event.  To accept the idea that we cannot NOT have influence means we are always responsible for our actions regardless of whether we are conscious of our affect, purposeful with our actions, or self-aware of our influence.  For most people, leadership is thought more of as an organizational matter not so much as personal.  The idea is that leaders are those people who have positional authority, are “up front,” and have information to distinguish themselves or bring unique value to the situation.  An additional matter and one far more insidiously embedded into the psyche of most individuals centers around the matter that most people are driven to avoid pain and difficulty than to do what is right, needed or best concerning the sitautional need.  It isn’t an easy task to face and accept the reality that being responsible is important and that response-ability is important all the time.  As leaders who are always leading, the challenge is for us to bring a quality of presence and attention to the moment; collaborate with others to hear what is essential; and then to co-create value in response to the critical need of people and organizations.
