I learned something new and enlightening this week.

It’s about leadership, and could be applied to a family leadership role beautifully.

The truth is this:

When leading, it isn’t as important to know how to direct and lead others as it is important for us to learn to be led by heaven.

To gain an understanding of what God would have us do on any given day, to have inspiration about what to do next to solve a problem or come to know what principle or skill on which to focus our attention in order to continue to learn.

Being led and inspired puts us in the best position to lead and inspire our families.

It is the humble and teachable and positive way to show our children by example how to be taught, or how to learn.

Can you think of someone who leads in this way? By example and by their ability to be led themselves?

Beautifully, this approach also helps us to keep within our realm of power. One, we can only chose to change ourselves, and two, it is by gaining greater control of ourselves that we lose our desire or compulsive need to control others.

I believe that God is waiting to assist us in this most important role of parenthood.  All we need do is ask for His help and then be willing and ready to hear and to follow the inspiration we receive.

Life is good when we chose to see the good!

Sending you my love and best wishes,
