This is my third commentary on the October 6 entry (A Sky Full of People). <\/p>\n
Today’s world speaks of the desire for authentic people, but in practice shuns that type of individual. Why is that? Mostly, because many organizations (profit and non-profit) value conformity more than authenticity. Authenticity is more difficult to lead than conformity, and in a culture that has gradually become intellectually lazy (see the stats on reading vs. television watching), we want it "easy." <\/p>\n
So how can you be authentic when the winds seem to blow against that choice? First, it starts with counting your days (how many days of a typical life span) and thinking what your legacy will be. All people share one common destiny, we’re all going to die. So what mark do you wish to leave? That answer should drive you to authenticity. If you don’t care about your legacy, then please stay single, don’t lead people and go live on a deserted island.<\/p>\n
If the choice is authenticity, you will not be disappointed. Authenticity leads to greatness and happiness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
