"Success is not to be pursued, rather attracted by the person you become."
- Jim Rohn
Is it LUCK that certain people become great leaders and others struggle? Do you believe that God picks out a few people to be GREAT leaders?
For those of you that know me personally, you know I have a deep DISDAIN for Vince Young, quarterback of the Tennessee Titans NFL team. While I will openly recognize his INCREDIBLE physical gifts, it is his IMMATURITY and INABILITY to serve as a leader that draws my dislike.
Should you have watched the Tennessee game or viewed any sports shows this morning, you will have heard about his ANTICS, as he was benched, then STORMED out of the locker room in a childish temper tantrum. Here is the CHALLENGE…
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
As a professional quarterback, you are EXPECTED to serve as a leader on your team. As a parent, business manager, etc, you TOO are expected to lead.
When you BAIL on your team (work or play), you VACATE the role of leader and UNDERMINE your ability to attain the respect required to FURTHER your mutual successes.
MENTAL strength in challenging times is the most difficult STRENGTH to maintain. Nevertheless, what is the alternative? Throwing your pads in to the stands, kicking a computer a work, starting a fight with a client?
LEADERS find ways to battle through… the rest just need to follow! Are you READY to lead?
Cheers,
Zach
