Self-Centered Pain

Self-Centered Pain

We often underestimate just how painful self-centeredness can be.  It seems like it will serve us.  It feels like it will make us happy.  Getting what we think we want all of the time should make us happy, after all.  Quite often, however, this strategy backfires on us.  In order for us to get what … Continue reading Self-Centered Pain

Beyond Ourselves

The problem with self-centered people is that they tend to not even realize they are self-centered.  It never occurs to them that the world does not revolve around their desires or demands.  They are so blinded by self that they cannot see what others need or want.  When this is brought to their attention, they … Continue reading Beyond Ourselves

The Path Not Yet Considered

The Path Not Yet Considered

Leadership, by definition, is an unpopular opinion. It is impossible to take the lead by conforming to public opinion, by acquiescing to a perceived consensus, or by trying to be popular instead of right. Leadership requires that we break away from what has already been done, what is being done, or what is obvious to … Continue reading The Path Not Yet Considered
