This weeks lecture was very powerful. We went over various definitions of divined centered leadership, my definition would be doing what the Lord would have me do. And I think this definition pretty much sums it up. We need to live each moment remembering Christ and trying to live as he did, whether that is being called in an official leadership position, or just being a friend. We need to be more in-tune with the Holy Ghost so we would be able to make the most of our time here. Reflecting on the past week, I realize I could have done so much more to follow Christ, and become more of a divined centered leader, by not getting caught up in all my pity worries and be more self less. In the lecture the speaker described Jesus Christ and his leadership being:
-at the right place, at the right time
I can really testify of this because someone has been at the right place at the right time for me. I will be having a horrible day, and someone did something to show me that I was loved. They were really an answer to my prayer, and were in-tuned with the Holy Ghost. I can apply this principle to my leadership postion in BYUSA as well as being First Counselor in the Relief Society Presidency, by praying for the Holy Ghost to lead me to do what He would have me do, and being there for others who need that extra bit of love.
-love
Love is so important. God is love, and we need to recognize that others need to be loved as much as we do. The eyes of world views everyone on the outside, we are constantly being judged by out outward appearance, which does not show the beauty of a person on the inside. I Lord looketh on the heart, (1 Samuel 16:7) and we should as well, loving everyone for who they truly are, as well as ourselves. We need to see the infinite worth and potential in everyone we come across( D&C 14:7), and loving, serving, and doing all we can for them because they are children of God, and they are worth it.
There is so much I can improve upon in my leadership positions, and in my life. There is so much more I can do, Christ did everything for me as well as everyone else, and I don't want to let him down by wasting my time here, when I could be leading others to him.
