An Observation on Truth

an observation on truth by david g guerra

Sunday, December 2, 2018: Out for a quick jog early this cool, crisp morning just the Moon, Venus, and Me. The sun was still below the horizon. For the moments we three were together, we were the only things that existed. Then it hit me: Reality. We are all that exists. What we see, what we feel, what we know is all that is real and what we believe.

At an early age we are taught to believe in certain things and shun others. But do not ask why (it just is). However, we are taught not to follow our friends off the bridge of their choosing, yet we are damned to eternal strife if we do not believe wine is blood and follow the line to the altar for a taste. The former MUST always be questioned while the latter must NEVER be questioned. WHY? Yet, the bridge and the blood are BOTH very much the same thing. WHY? Another never to ask is does he exist. Oh never question that. WHY?

Back to the reality of the moment, lately I find myself questioning what is real and what is not? What is here in this moment? Who lives and who does not? Questions and Questions and more Questions. Yet, not enough answers. The reality is there are NEVER enough answers. Maybe there is never enough time for the answers? Maybe I do not have enough time to get the answers? Then again none of us have time left for the answers.

Time or not enough time left I have to keep asking questions whether I get a truthful answer or a passing deflection it does not matter. What matters is to continually question everything. Why question everything? I do not really know why but I do know it has to do with remaining uncomfortable. As I looked up and stared at the crescent Moon and the planet Venus, all a blaze, the cool morning air made the sweat on my skin colder and another realization befell onto me: Truth is I cannot stop thinking about you. Why?

An Observation on Perfection

As a leader, you will find yourself surrounded by different people. These people will come in all shapes and sizes. They will come with differing mindsets and different ways of doing things. Yet, there is one thing everyone has in common is everyone wants to be perfect, everyone wants to have the perfect job and do the job near perfection. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Everyone, everywhere has their own unique flaws as well as our own unique strengths. Those unique flaws and strengths are what makes everyone different and guess what; it makes them not so perfect.

The sooner you realize that no two people are like and know that when you lead will react or respond the same way, the sooner life will be perfect. Perfect in the sense that everyone can get the job done doing it their way and not your way. Sure to your way may appear to be the best way to you that to them that could be the long way or the hard way. Of course, there are going to be certain times, situations and events that will call for nothing but your or with those before you have found to be a quicker or better way. Please share those situations because it makes you look like a caring leader and a leader that would rather watch people make their mistakes when they can to prevent the mistakes are happening altogether.

But remember, the perfection comes from knowing that everyone is different and will act and performed differently. As long as the expected results will be the same and how they perform will yield those expected results who cares if it is not perfect?

An Observation on Leadership

When it comes to leadership one thing is most certainly non-negotiable: YOU ARE A LEADER OF ALL.

While you will lead many and you will never get to pick and choose who you will lead. Actually, those you lead will select you to lead them.

That is why it is important to remember that when are leading you have to lead everyone, including those that are being led by others.

Why include others? Simple. As a follower, it is good to know that they are part of an organization or group that has many, multifaceted leaders.

Besides who wants to be part of an organization that has only one leader? Remember, having only one leader is the fast track to a Dictatorship.
