 LEADERSHIP: TRAITS AND ATTRIBUTES

Pursuits of The Actualized Levels
Which shall or might it be? Good-Better-or Best, Ordinary-Excellence or Extraordinary.
What shall be the levels of Traits and Attributes sought after?
The new emerging level has a key focus on "Emotional Intelligence" (EI). A unique approach that brings forth the Mindful Thoughts Of Consciousness inherent within is a high level of motivation, EI. Which err on the side of being prudent and wise, holding a capacity for core values with a unique connection to "Emotional Intelligence," such that they possess habits to train the brain to have a rare capacity for leadership Traits.
Key Word is: R. A. R, E
R, reinforcement that leads to generosity
A, attainment to serve with humility
R, retention of joy, hope, and faith
E, Embrace hardship, painful events in life, i.e., every painful event contains in itself a seed of growth, development, and liberation, due to working through roadblocks with a sense of identity that results in transformational elements of and by exposure to life experiences
Realized Outcome:
~The Efforts put forth make those under such leadership feel valued and not used
~ Feel respected and not judged
~Feel cared for and not dismissed
feel understood and not ignored
In the final analysis, I am complicit with a quote from a favorite Poet Laureate, Maya Angelou. "People will forget what you said; they will forget what you did; but they will not forget how you made them feel"

 THE EDICTS AND KEY COMPONENTS OF GOD'S WILL

Here are some important things that are part of "God's Will" as we travel on life's daily walk on the journey. As promised, this is a follow-up to many of my followers. This narrative focuses on "Lordship." This is an open door for us as believers to embrace the 'Leadership' which God gives us to pray our way through hard decisions. Because his calling upon us leads us toward opposition to the difficulty of a closed door. But is it really,,,? Sometimes the most difficult, painful, fearful, illogical path ends up being the "Open Door". The question is..? How do we know?. One answer might be..." Peace in the midst of the Storm". When you are doing what you know to be "The Will of God". When your desire is shifted toward 'His Glory!, when your goal is to participate in 'His Kingdom'. When your impatience is swallowed up in 'Surrendering' to His Lordship. You'll begin to recognize His voice above the opinions of all others. "The Holy Spirit within you, who is continually interceding for you, according to the will of God" {John 10:4}, Amen

 A Few Key Narrative Utterances To Consider, Become Aware of, And/or Just To Know: "MUST READ"

If the sitting POTUS had only two obnoxious issues, he would never have won the presidency, first or even a second time. It was the fact that he had a Plethora of Multitudes of such issues that made him the winner. Why? Because a multitude of millions of human beings are 'toxic', therefore, it was easy for them to relate to him, in one way, form or another.
Know that it was never really about Trump himself; it was much more about the people who finally had their twisted, racist feelings brought to bear. Trump served as the catalyst to give" those people" permission to disparage and hate their fellow humans. Because he says what they are really thinking, but do not dare to speak up about it. Who knew that multitudes of millions of men of a different ethnicity felt so emasculated by women and challenged by minorities? Who knew that after years of seeming progress on race and gender, and a plethora of millions of white Americans lived in seething resentment, was waiting for a demagogue, like Trump, to arrive and legitimize their worst self, and then to channel such issues into "political power, perhaps we the people had taken too much for granted and had become too comfortable, even to get up and Go To The Polls To Vote.
THUS: In A Word, Living In a Fool's Paradise "It's Time To Get Up And Run To The Polls To Vote Come MIDTERM ELECTIONS

 Divine Echoes Of Spiritual Consciousness

Who is first in the path of the journey of my daily throes of life

While striving to walk through the arduous travails of life’s strife

He who is my anchor, my guide, my why; the family of my reasons

Who gives me my lyrics, the tune of my rhythm for the seasons

I delight in the love of spiritual waters of the spring of the outdoors while endeavoring to Go Forth, with good energy, not to be a bore

Being a genuine believer in embracing both effort and good energy

Grasping whatever is being brought forth for the best senergy

It is an expectation to both love and give

The ought-ness of certain things bodes well just to live

Deep Sense of Empathy And Compassion

I strive to love genuinely and support deeply

By always endeavoring to put grace over ego

And purpose over pressure

Never ever to be deceiving over and by any looks

Being ever focused and seeking to be extremely down to earth

Portraying the ought-ness to be deliberatively connected

To the Creator’s God Birth

Not to focus or be deceived by achievements and looks

Just be resolved to simply see what accomplishments God has graciously bestowed and booked
