When I started down my personal path to spiritual growth, I remember what one of my teachers said to me about bringing change to this world and its people. One of my teachers named Horse said: “if everyone liked you and what you were doing, that you most likly were not doing anything that would help this world or others in it”. People fight change in this world and they do not like leaving their comfort zone. So if half of the people hate you and the other half like what you are doing and what you stand for, then most likly you are becoming a good leader and the kind of person that will bring positive change to this world and its people.
People love to feel good about themselves and they love to get the most that they can by giving the least amout as possible. People also love the easier softer way to anything, when there really is no easier softer way. That is why we tend to follow people that want to take advantage of us, or they want to take us for all that they can. This is why the world has the tendancy to follow the worst kind of leaders that it possibly can.
Does a good leader give the people what they want or does a good leader give the people what it is that they need? If a man and his family came to you hungry, would you give them a fish so that they could eat for a day or would you teach them to fish so that they could eat for a lifetime?
Do we want leaders in our world who only serve their own self interest, or do we want leaders that serve the greater good of the whole? What qualities do you think a good leader should have?
