the unpredictable wind

God the great unknown, the infinite creator also made the unpredictable wind.  Just because you have a sailboat and a compass, you cannot expect him to always move you in the direction you desire. He will give you the wind, but are you a prepared sail?  “Calm Seas never made Great Sailors” – FDR

Litmus Test of Good leadership

Leadership is simple for simple Men like me who don’t subscribe to the so called three day immersive leadership seminars in vegas or follow the regiment of those airport leadership books. 

Leadership comes down to this, when you have completed your tasks from the vantage point you had. Even after all is done and bygone, those who you led, served still come to you to genuinely ask of your wellbeing and share theirs. There is a sparkle in their eyes and a joy, hope, belonging they can’t describe when they are with you. No matter how brief that encounter is. That’s leadership well done. Those who get servitude know this all too well. And you part with them with the same servitude with whatever is left in you. That’s fine Leadership in my books.

Dedicating this to the Dads who are not here with us in 2026 but who will always be remembered as Legends and Lions. And to all the new Dads. Be well.
