Tamarah's Original Post:
"Leading from any chair"
I really enjoyed this set of chapters, as well as the ones I
did before. Each chapter is so intricately written. I learn a lot
of nuggets throughout! They always confirm various things that are going on in
my life!
The 5th chapter mainly attested to me that you have to be
comfortable with being a leader in any phase of life. Even if you are not
the conductor or head musician, or maybe even not the administrator of a
school, but be equipped and assured that you can lead and take ownership from
wherever you are.
My mom always says the quote, "Be Faithful in another
man's vision, and God will bless you to lead your own vision!" I strive to
live this way as much as I can.
Chapter 6
"Rule Number 6"
Don't take your self too seriously!! That was extremely
simple of a concept! I liked the way the author described this concept.
He mentioned how professionals take themselves too seriously. He
also brought up the scenarios of taking your relationships too seriously.
Better communication, better sex, better days in general are all due to
being light and not too serious. A wife shared, she was having issues
with her husband, and that she couldn't imagine having better sex with her
husband, until she adopted the concept, number 6 rule, not taking yourselves
too seriously.
I am usually a humorous in majority of my day to day
situations. I do have to remind myself to not take myself too serious
when it comes to business, work, and sometimes relationships. I truly
understand why the author conveyed this message in this chapter.
Chapter 7
" The Way Things Are"
This Chapter was very profound! It reminds me of how the,
"Secret" was written. Things are already in place and circumstances
will happen, but how you perceive it, makes the difference.
The author mentioned a couple going on a vacation in
Florida. When you go to Florida, you expect sun, perfect weather,
sun-bathing, beaches, good food, rest, etc. Well this couple had an
entire vacation full of rain. What kind of vacation is that? That
is our first natural response, but if you change a few words in your thought
process or if you change your mindset about your vacation, you will make the
best of your vacation.
Chapter 8
"Giving Way to Passion"
This chapter is all about releasing your passion and letting
go of barriers that hold you down. I love the way the author identified
with barriers and strongholds. This reminds me of the whole lesson in the
bible that details the concept of Faith. Having Faith without the evidence of
seeing what God has in store for you!
I'm passionate about many things, music, art, entertainment,
production, church, God, love, relationships, business, comedy, education,
family. I could honestly say that daily, I try to contribute to all of
my passions. I would love to totally be passionate and not let anything
hold me back for my dreams!
My Reponse:
Tamarah, it is obvious that you are enjoying the book and
getting a lot from the points the authors offer. I’m sure the reading is beneficial during
this strategic and transitional time in your life and career. When we have spoken, we have not talked
specifically about your next moves in your career; however, from your blog,
your perspective is exciting! You
definitely have a strong concept of purpose and leadership and connection of
your vision with others. I’ve found that it is so important for us to be aware
of how our lives are connected with the lives of others and what we have to
offer each other. Undoubtedly, through
your faith, your perspective or ability to see the benefit in challenging or contrary
situations, in addition to the passion you have for your work will land you
exactly where you are supposed to be.
