Take it as a mantra—“I enjoy whatever is there”—to slow down and start noticing what has been arranged for us, right now, in this moment, for us to enjoy. We start enjoying the moment we stop thinking and reacting.
In meditation, I enjoy what is happening right now. I actually appreciate what is going on, instead of wrestling with the reality of what is happening right now.
People are drawn to a good leader, as if by a gravitational field. A good leader has gravity. The weight of their authority comes from their strong moral firmness and personal integrity. A good leader leads by example. He or she gives respect and love to everyone in equal measure. The people working with a good leader want to work extra hard and do their best work, because the leader has encouraged and inspired them. The good leader has reminded everyone of what their true potential is.
We are born with the potential to be great people. Wise. Generous. Loving. The potential exists in every human being. Sometimes, along the way, we lose the ability to fully express our best qualities. I have found, doing Sahaja Meditation, that my latent good qualities start to shine through. One such quality is “leadership”.
What makes a good leader? She inspires and encourages. She empowers others. She always reminds the people on the team that they are on a team. She uses the power of gentle persuasion. She doesn’t bully. She never threatens. She never personally attacks anyone. Mostly the strategy to get something done is cooperation, but some friendly, good-natured, probably humorous competition is used for motivation and “getting the lead out.”
Above all, she has no ego. She takes responsibility for her own mistakes and is quick to forgive the mistakes of others.
