PROVERBS 16:7

7 When a person’s ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.

Although it changes along with my experiences, this scripture has been my favorite for a couple of years now.  Suffice it to say that leadership comes at a price.  Sometimes we choose it willingly and sometimes it is thrust upon us whether we want it or not.  Following my own path is not so difficult, however, creating a path for others to follow and adopt… #painful!  Even if those you lead actually believe in your ability to do so, inevitably there will be folks among them who question your ability or resent it. My prayer is to accept leadership with grace and humility at all times whether at home or at work.
