Morning Motivator - An Idea about Supply and Demand

"It turns out that the people who make things happen - the champions - are now in short supply and more successful than ever."
- Seth Godin 

Watching politics makes me REALIZE something – our society is in SHORT SUPPLY of real leadership.  I RECOGNIZE that the people in our government have found a way to "lead" enough to get the votes needed to take their elected role, however, how many of them REALLY lead? 

The majority of people I have talked with NEVER heard of their "elected official" prior to their campaign run.  Most don't even know where our PRESIDENT is from.  How is this possible?? 

The REALITY of our country, and human civilization, is that true, UNIQUE thought coupled with LEADERSHIP is at an all time low.  In an era of MSNBC and FOX News, we are spoon fed what to THINK, how to REACT, and what to be PASSIONATE about.  This is self evident by the inability of people to have discussion WITHOUT the regurgitation of rhetoric witnessed each night on television. 

2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
This country will make a DEMAND for "change" – not the kind we were sold on in 2008. 

People will EXPECT that their leaders are both socially aware and fiscally responsible.  The questions becomes… "Who will lead?" 

Knowing that the often the person with the LOUDEST voice, or most "POPULAR" opinion will often drive the behavior of others will we ever see someone stand on their PRINCIPLES? 

Leadership starts by standing up for the BETTERMENT of all, not a select few, not your friends… the GREAT majority.  Should 10% of the people be pissed off – so be it!  Should that mean the top or bottom percent – who cares!? 

One day, a GREAT leader will arise again, the likes of a Teddy Roosevelt, General George Washington or John F. Kennedy.  That person will NOT be wavered by "social pressures" NOR by "special interests," RATHER, stand for the MAJORITY of people whom drive the economy, education and moral values of this country. 

Will you be a part of the SUPPLY… or the DEMAND? 

Cheers,
Zach
