Being a leader . . .

Being leader . . . is more appropriate. To be a leader means being many things, or said more directly seeing from many perspectives. Your perspective will define your interpretation and in turn will define who you are being in any given situation.

"I am always at the beginning" (The Buddha's response when asked what life was like)

To be leader-like one must always be willing to be at the beginning - not only willing to be at the beginning or find oneself there - but to bring oneself to always be at the beginning. Being at the beginning with no "past induced" restraint or constraint.

To be at the beginning of something is the most difficult of jobs - for there are no answers, and few believers. There is little to "hold on to" and more to "run to" for certainty is always easier to grasp than uncertainty.

To be at the beginning of something calls on us to be guided by our "true north"in the absence of support by those that have been rewarded well by the certainty of the past; when not yet able to see that the ways of the past have been made obsolete by the changing world they inhabit.

Do you trust you to be at the beginning of something, and pick yourself up when you are off course, and start over again and again, and again?
