Leadership and maturity go hand-in-hand. You know you are maturing when you do what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, and how it needs to be done.
Leaders do not feel their way into an action, they act their way into a feeling. I can tell you that I never feel like working out – ever! But I believe that God has given me my body to serve Him. I lead myself to work out when it is time to work out, not when my body feels like it. I do not give in to my cravings and desires. Rather, my feelings are subject to what I choose. If I were to wait until I felt like it, it would never get done!
I do not believe in the myth of following your heart. When leaders lead with their values, their heart will follow. Our bodies are the same way. We have to lead the feel, not feel the lead … we have to act our way into a feeling not feel our way into an action!
Do what you don’t feel like doing, when it needs to be done! It shows leadership … it demonstrates maturity!
