Truly great leaders are able to laugh at themselves when they fall

in life •  3 years ago 

It is something that we take extremely seriously. Possessing a pair of shoes from that particular manufacturer. In order to purchase a house on the property. To be able to have a vacation in the hotel we desire.

To be able to go to the nations that we desire is something we all want. So that I can put up status updates on social media that say "I've been here and done that and done that." Dressing up, eating at the best restaurants, and claiming to be the best are all things that people strive for.

We take life so seriously that we don't even take the time to appreciate each and every moment... Taking one's life too seriously can result in... Consider the following scenario... Is it possible for us to lose? Loss is the one thing in life that we despise the most.

It is an honour to be picked over others. Because our loved one has stated that the relationship is finished, it is likely that he is currently dating someone else. When you lose, it's not like that at all! Being unwanted, unworthy, and unchosen are all feelings that can be overwhelming.

So, what are we going to do if we are the only ones in power of our own destiny? "What should we do if we don't?" says the group. "Shouldn't we be angry and concerned?" says the author. So, what should we do if a circumstance like the one we just described occurs in our lives? Isn't it past time that we laid a stone? Should we claim that we were deceived, defeated, and wiped out? Isn't it appropriate for us to be able to take pleasure in all of this suffering?

Now I say: Yes, as someone who has been in your position before, please allow me to provide some advice. We must learn to both laugh at our own shortcomings, behaviours, and situations, as well as take the seriousness of life in its whole... What is it about ourselves that makes us laugh?

It is important to remember that there is no "end" to life. We are not tied together by anyone's life threads. It's coming to terms with the fact that we'll be alone forever. Whatever occurs in life, if we are harmed, we can be mindful of the gifts we have given to ourselves, regardless of the circumstances.

A sense of security in knowing that, no matter what occurs in our lives, someone will be there to take their position when they are no longer needed. Appreciating the path taken by others, as well as our own, is important... And it's the realisation that our lives will be changed forever if we don't finish this book...

Regardless of the situation, whether they are alone, broke, or unexpected, leaders should be able to laugh at themselves.... As leaders, every time we overestimate our own importance or degrade ourselves, we "rebirth." That is something that true leaders do. Then they look back at what has happened and at themselves, wondering, "When, where, and how do we begin again?" they smile and ask. They are inquisitive by nature.

From time to time, it's beneficial to laugh at ourselves. Let's give it a shot today and see how it turns out.
