The world is trying to make you and just like everybody else. To fit us into a mold that fits someones preconceived notion of what a leader or individual should be. With the proliferation of advise on the internet and in books, you could very likely be getting opposite advise from well-meaning experts on the same subject, within moments of one another.
Even more likely is that you are working hard to try to please competing constituents, balancing what you think you believe, with what your donors, staff, and clients feel you should be doing.
What is the answer the challenge of leaders and individuals who are pulled in multiple directions?
Set yourself free from the good-opinion of others and do the right thing in love.
The poet e.e. cummings said this: “to be nobody but yourself–in a world that is doing its best day and night to make you somebody else–means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight, and never stop fighting”
Have faith that God has a plan and a purpose for your life and that you are the right person in the right place at just the right time.
