Powerful leaders are not looking for followers, but they are looking for opportunities to serve and add value. They lead the way, whenever they see an opportunity to serve and don't wait for others to ask for help.
Have you heard of the Observer Effect in quantum physics?
In an experiment, when electrons were fired from an electron gun, they behaved as particles, but when there was an observer in the process, then they behaved as waves.
We can look at it in 2 ways:
a) The electrons always behave this way and that is what the Observer is observing
b) The electrons behave this way because the Observer is observing
Acknowledge, feel and face your fears; Then rise above them and do the things that you fear. Doing what you are fearful of, gives birth to courage. Once courage is born, it only grows.
Have you noticed that we get so attached to the destination (goal), that we don't focus on the journey (how we get there - peace, growth, fun, adventure, fulfillment).
