It's 365 days old!

It is easy to concentrate too much on cynical activities of criticising people in positions of authority with a neurotic mindset of followership and abrupt submissiveness and miss the profound realisation of leadership qualities that are deposited in us individually. Are our leaders really better than us in terms of intellectual capabilities? Are they lettered than we do? What is the difference between you and the "elected" personality representing your constituency at the legislative chamber? Nothing, you say? Then what are we doing to better our lives when the supposedly trustees are not to be trusted any longer? We have a lot to do individually and collectively.

The foregoing inspired me to embark on the project called JUST Leadership Foundation 365 days ago. Soon, I realised I do not need a title to become a leader, a voice, an epitome of influence and inspiration in this generation. The most universal and powerful temptations a leader can face are instant gratification, recognition and applause, title and improper use and lust for power. We can only surmount these temptations when we live a just life. A life that glorifies God our creator. We should remember always that are all leaders in our various capacities hence seek God's guidance. Someone once told me "it is not easy to lead". Then must we die a follower. The Holy book decreed us to be head and never the tail. But it is sad thing to note that most of us are wagging our tails perpetually because we do not want to leave our comfort zone.

No doubt, the weekly Vitamins for the mind and Reflections have blessed many lives (mine inclusive). It is instructive to restate that the intent of JUST Leadership Foundation is to tinker us and set us apart for greatness and monumental leadership roles in the future and now. We are all living testimonies.

As we enter into this new season of leadership, may we all be fulfilled in all our aspirations and endeavours.

Happy reading, thinking, and leading.
