SHADES OF REFLECTION (PART I)

YEARS BEHIND IN RETROSPECT: from the book "INSPIRED TO LEAD" by KOMOLAFE EMMANUEL DARE

SHADES OF REFLECTION (PART I)

Good evening to you out there, I guess you are having a nice time. I felt a push in my heart to share with you something interesting before the year runs out. I am currently working on my book "INSPIRED TO LEAD". It is one of the powerful book everyone must read, both young and old and with this I am willing to share my experience about life, my political experience, my transformed philosophy, my renowned assertion, my deeper conviction about how to achieve almost anything in the world and most importantly a new Nigeria and my prominent understanding of the current need to develop leaders of worth in our nation so as to advance the course of this nation forward. By my experience, it was very clear that the change that can ever happen in our nation must come from leadership with a clear sense of a burden every leader is expected to carry. There's a cry for leadership at all spheres of endeavours in our world be it in our family, in our Churches/Mosques, in our Schools e.t.c. And to this stead, I have decided to draw excerpts from this book.

You may be a Christian, a devoted Muslim, a Pagan or an Atheist but we are all output of our past, our present and our future. It is very easy to be told to forget the past but they are what makes our memories and have relative influence on our decision and also, we are usually being told to forget the "future" (QUE-SERA-SERA) being interpreted WHAT WILL BE WILL BE but to enjoy today, we need the "hope" of our tomorrow that we must rely on and hold on to for us to be able to keep our faith believing for the better. I will at this juncture likewise in the same manner salute all those who have kept believing in new Nigeria. People who have never given up. There's been a lot of prayers going on for the "messiah" that will salvage the people from the untold suffering they face daily in their respective lives. And this book that will be out soonest will give answers to that to the best of my understanding as prayers are not enough to take this nation from its messy situation she has found herself. There's need for cooperative responsibility towards this noble cause for us as a nation to change some things about our hearts and ourselves. Our approach to the people around us, our approach to our environment and the change in our desires that must make us do what we must do.

My own approach to having a correct kind of leadership will be quite different from the past. Many people have thought that in order to have good leaders in our country, we need people who are bold, have connections, have enough financial base to sponsor campaigns and buy people's heart but I say this, there are definitely need for these things to come to play but beyond this, there is a need for RIGHT PEOPLE that must carry the BURDEN, people have been chosen by GOD. Only CHOSEN MEN CAN BRING A CHANGE ANYWHERE, EVERYWHERE! How do I mean by RIGHT PEOPLE? Who are the RIGHT PEOPLE? All these will I be outlining in the new book.

NOTE

"The outlines of this article occurred in real time. They are non-fictitious and they were all penned down as each day unfolds and this has helped me during the course of getting to where I am today and helped shaped me to what I have become.

In addition to the background that precedes my outline, let me say this that the power of knowledge is what compels men to do what is positively beyond reality. It's a force that drives them to do what other people cannot.

One of the purpose of this write up is to lighten people's heart about the best security that can ever happened to them. The purpose is to remind them that "God has plans for everybody". People's time is what is different. That's how our world was created. We are not created into this world on our own and by ourselves but we were sent to this world for an assignment that we must accomplish and if we fail, we jeopardize the help that our generations is expecting from us to leave for them to enjoy.
