Lastly, never dream of changing a person that is the worst thing that can ever happen to a man. You have to learn to allow people to make a decision for their own change. Accept and embrace people the way they are. With that you’ll help them to discover who they are and if they dream of becoming a leader themselves they’ll begin to work on themselves.
We must all know one thing that we cannot complete each other; we can only complement one another but when complement become a thing of irritations and avoiding each other then it’s no longer a complement but a compulsion by then it’s nothing else than witch craft. But if we can learn to embrace and celebrate one another even when we are not up to perfection then we can together Sense Peace, Bless Others, Receive Blessings and walking together in harmony, Feel Secure of one another without any bias mind if we truly love one another. Together we can Find God if we don’t lose hope; we can Experience Intimacy in His presence, Receive Guidance to leave right. We must be free of any worries or troubles that might likely great an ungodly thought towards another person. Worry is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but never gets you anywhere. You and I must learn to break our self lose of it no matter what.
By doing this we great opportunities for others to excel and we have greater influence on them. Creating positive influence will not only be a catalyst to your own success, it will become the legacy you will leave behind. Remember reputation is what people think of us now that we are still alive; legacy is what they think of us long after we are far gone away. There are no born leaders, only learned leaders.
