Being busy doesn’t mean you’re building anything worthwhile…anything that will last.
This past month has had sprints of busyness within our extended family. (Aging members and the life choices they need help making then executing).
In large part it’s left my wife and I just “blah” when we’ve had any opportunity to breathe.
Yes family is important.
In fact it’s number 3 on my Heirarchy of Relational Leadership™
1. God
2. Self
3. Family
4. Everyone and everything else
Yet I don’t feel like this has been a successful relay, even though I know we’ve made an impact.
Success too across these sprints just feels blah…
As a leader, I think this is a precarious position to be in.
We are presented with a choice: Do we say “no more” or do we dig deep(er) and push through?
If we are truly following Christ’s example of Servant Leadership, then the answer becomes clear…we don’t necessarily dig deeper, rather we lean into Him harder.
We lead ourselves in such a manner that it reflects the Son.
In short, we continue to serve even if it doesn’t seem like we are building anything worthwhile. Why?
Becasue penultimately it’s not about us. It’s about Him, God the Father…that’s why He’s Numero Uno, First, Alpha on the list 👆
So as a leader whether it’s at home, in a boardroom, or on a platform…Be consistent.
Spotlight moments don’t build leaders.
Leadership is built in quiet faithfulness.
