I was given
an invaluable gift this week by a fellow leader, entrepreneur, businessman,
husband, father, Elder who has this quiet grounding presence. I so appreciate
the gift my heart shouted, share, share, share with other leaders,
entrepreneurs and business owners. The gift, the Maxwell Leadership Bible by
John Maxwell. The book shares lessons of
Leadership from the word of God. So over
the course of time as a story or insight speaks to me, I will pass it on and share
it with you in this blog.
If you enjoy what
you read, please share it with someone that you think could benefit from giving
this a read. I'd be ever so grateful if you did.
What spoke
to me from "Leadership Lessons from the Ant" was the very first
sentence - "Do you want to make a difference?" My eyes lit up, my heart jumped and my mind
shouted from the roof tops a resounding YES.
How about
you? Do you want to make a difference?
Then pay attention to the metaphor of the ant.
Leadership Lessons from the Ant
It's amazing
that one of the smallest of God's creatures can become one of His greatest
teachers.
A - Attitude of Initiative
Ants don't
need a commander to tell them to get started.
N - Nature of Integrity
Ants work
faithfully and need no outside accountability to keep them doing right.
T - Thirst for Industry
Ants work
hard and will replace their anthill when it gets ruined.
S - Source of insight
Ants store
provisions in summer.
If we
consider and learn from the ways of the ant, we can grow wise.
(The Maxwell Leadership Bible by John
Maxwell - Page 770)
As you read
this, what glean of insight sparked inside of you?
Are you
curious to learn more about you? Quietly
ask yourself these questions, then journal and discover. Do you have an attitude of initiative? Are you faithful to yourself? With your business or job? Are you thirsty for support? Do you have insights yet ignore them?
I know you
have it in you to dive deep. Be curious about self
discovery to open and expand your heart with self acceptance. YOU are UNIQUE and you are here to share your
UNIQUE gift of you. When you uncover what is
hiding underneath your beliefs, you will unearth what is driving you in your life, business/job and finances.
Warmly -
