Day 23 - Lessons from Superman
"He was never here to merely save us. To cure humankinds' ails. To vanquish society's evils. No, his purpose was far greater...In light of everything he was never corrupted by such grand power, by any grand labor. He could have led us, conquered us, slaughtered us. Yet he remained true to himself, true to what he is, true to what we are. It's in this that his true purpose lies."
The excerpt above was taken from issue #16 of Adventures of Superman. The most gifted, inspiring, and truly remarkable leaders are the ones who have incredible power and strength inside of them, but they use those gifts to better others. They lead people effectively by standing next to them, rather than walking all over them.
Are you trying to lead others? How are you approaching your teammates, colleagues, friends, etc.? Remain true to yourself by living out your purpose and lifting up those around you regularly, rather than breaking them down. More likely than not, they will follow you with great enthusiasm and there's no limit to what you can accomplish working together.
"If you're not making someone else's life better, then you're wasting your time." ~Will Smith
