Focusing on others
April 7, 2009 | 7:37 pmIt is fascinating how you can move from a feeling of powerlessness and lack of ideas to a state of energy and fresh initiative in just a short time by focusing on others. It happened to me a while ago. I started to look to much into myself and pondered the difficulties and as a result doubt and fear rose. My own mind tricked me and the flow of creativity was blocked. I did not know what to do about a certain situation. Suddenly I realized what had happened. I started to think how I could be of service to the people involved and then ideas started to flow.
The change of feeling was so obvious that I had to stop for a while and reflect over it. What is the lesson here? Be aware of your own attention. Check where your attention is directed and make sure it is directed towards people. I believe that a prominent trait in a leader should that of being a servant to those you lead.
