One of the things that we have within our own lives is leaders. They can even be leaders in a family.
They are often people who lead us in a new direction, in life there are people who will do anything to get ahead in life from knocking someone or backstabbing them for some reason. A true leader is someone who encourages people to make mistakes, yet also remains as calm as can when a mistake happens.
Yet also a true leader is someone who practices unconditional acceptance on everyone as a person. They accept a person as they are, the way the communicate. The way they talk, that they have limits in their abilities, their skin colour, their spelling as person, they accept their own floors and work with them. They accept others floors too.
They accept responsibility for the mistake and will refuse to pass the buck. Yet when there is a win the credit goes to others. However there are people who like to place fear in people and to make them feel bad about something. To make them feel small for a mistake or failure as a person. They can email you a comment via your contact form and in an attempt to make you feel bad for not conforming to their wishes or demands. They may say something in order to get you to conform to their wishes as a person. A lot of these people have a very inflated ego and enjoy bringing people down as it makes them feel better about themselves and feel like a big person.
As stated by Napoleon Hill throughout think and grow rich. Leadership is by consent and cannot be forced on someone at all, when you force someone eventually they will say no more. I am not putting up with this anymore, that is when the person walks away they will say I resign, I am out of here and do it. The person may even lodge a complaint, yet when it fails to get dealt with and others ridicule them then they are forced to leave. Saying good luck and in life a person will learn from such.
A true leader is someone who can put up with that ridicule and yet when there is a legitimate complaint they hear what a person has to say. They talk about the issue. They do not sweep the issue under the carpet which have seen happen a few times throughout own career.
Throughout own leadership career I have met many people who simply were incapable of accepting how lead as a person. They were incapable of accepting who was as a person, think about it a 35 year old guy who has been living with a back injury since was 17. Was epileptic at 4 years old and grew out of it, for me to just maintain own health it means regular exercise. I am at the gym for 2 hours 3 times a week. It means eating rite, now its hard for people understand that I am up at 4 am on those 3 days just to go to the gym and get things done. Yes I do take a break when it is needed yet I am aware what has to be done to keep own health.
They just are unable to understand that is what has to be done. A true leader is someone who does what has to be done, when it’s up at 4 am to get to the gym. When its doing the dog watch as a old work place called it which is 0130 to 6 am shift for a volunteer job as no one else wants to do it. Its staying up later to make a phone call or getting up early to make a phone call. That is what a true leader does.
They do whatever they can to achieve their goals. Yes they may suffer many setbacks and failures yet they will learn from such.

Chapter 8 Decision
The mastery of procrastination
The seventh step towards riches
Throughout life I have made a lot of decisions, some have worked out others have not. Some have been worth it others no way. Yet my best decision was the one to get out there and meet Jenny in late September 2012. It’s been amazing meeting Jenny who took a while to understand the way express self as will tend to be rather affectionate at times. Yet it was worth it in the end, I am able to just relax with Jenny and not need to be anyone else. The hard part was for years I was told by everyone that this needed to change or that had to change.
I knew before dating Jenny that she was what was looking for, from an impression given through the sixth sense. Now for me it’s amazing that it is such with a woman and you can just chat or be yourself. I have made a number of decisions in these last few months and that includes going away in April to Jenny’s home in New Zealand to meet her parents for 9 days. A holiday for 9 days, yay. Now that is awesome it’s been a while.
I also decided it’s time to let the Benjamin come out and to be myself, the guy who is more loving. Yet to be myself, not the guy who everyone else wanted me to be. I had so many people telling me to do this, then to do that, then that. Oh boy everyone else had control of own life and I let them as wouldn’t speak up. When I did it was as if I didn’t exist as everyone else failed to understand what said.
Throughout life we must learn to be comfortable learning from those good and bad choices. We grow from both, we are tested continually as to the soundness of our decision and when we are committed all obstacles are moved out of our own way. Sometimes we have to remain firm with our decision to be in a company until, even when it appears that people are unable to understand what is motivating you as a person.
So what is motivating you as a person, personally that is Jenny and wanting a better life. I am going to give what love have to others. Just keeping on giving what I can, for me I will get there. I have done it all throughout life and will continue.
Thank you to Michael, Willena, Ken for your inspirational mentoring, guidance and leadership. Which has helped me to have a better life,
Abundant love and health and big hugs,

Another powerful article from Harvey Mackay on the power of learning from your disappointments and mistakes you make in business and life. Sure some of them are really bad choices and unless you learn from such you are unable to grow as a person.
Disappointment Is Opportunity in Disguise by Harvey Mackay
Handling disappointment is one of life's little challenges, and often an indication of how we deal with adversity at work as well. Anyone who has been in business can tell war stories about the bumps in the road. But if they've outlasted the competition, ask for their stories about survival. They've figured out how to turn disappointments into opportunities.
Lose one of your best customers? Bummer. But it's not necessarily a defeat. Find out why their orders are going elsewhere. If you messed up, fix what you can and resolve not to make the same mistake again. If the purchasing manager has a new brother-in-law who sells for your competition, well, that's not a disappointment anymore. That's your new challenge. Just don't lower your expectations. If you expect nothing, that's exactly what you'll get.
Didn't get the promotion? Be honest with yourself. Were you right for the job? Was it right for you? Do you have a future with the company? Use your disappointment to do some soul-searching. If there were two qualified people ahead of you, it could be a matter of timing. If you've been passed over before, it's time to quit being disappointed and recognize that you might have to jump to another lily pad. You'll thank your old company later for helping you get out in time.
Take a lesson from James Whitaker, the first American to reach the summit of Mount Everest. Even though he was emotionally and physically prepared, he encountered more than his share of disappointments: avalanches, dehydration, hypothermia, and the physical and mental fatigue caused by the lack of oxygen at 29,000 feet. Why did Whitaker succeed where so many had given in to their disappointments? "You don't really conquer such a mountain," he said. "You conquer yourself. You overcome the sickness and everything else—your pain, aches, fears—to reach the summit."
Achievers, like Whitaker, focus on the road, rather than the bumps in it, to reach their destination.
OK, you're on the other side of the desk. Can't find the right person for a job? That's not a disappointment, that's a business emergency. It's time to call in the pros. I use a headhunter and an industrial psychologist for all my key hires. I can't afford to be disappointed.
Is your staff underperforming? Time for another look in the mirror. Perhaps they're as disappointed in you as you are in them. If you can make their job more satisfying… challenging… rewarding, do it. The results won't disappoint you.
Next time you're on the golf course, pick up your golf ball and take a close look. The first golf balls manufactured had smooth covers. An avid, but broke, golfer couldn't afford new ones, so he used whatever he found along the course: beat up, nicked golf balls. His playing partners soon noticed that their smooth-covered balls didn't fly as accurately or as far as his. What was going on? But they finally figured out what gave their friend the advantage.
Today, golf balls have as many as 432 dimples. The "rough spots" enhance the ball's distance and accuracy.
Life's like that: rough spots sharpen our performance. And more often than not, the obstacles can be turned into advantages. You just can't let your disappointment get in the way.
From Jim Rohn’s newsletter by Harvey Mackay on learning from your disappointments and mistakes.
