My Manifesto part 6

.. ..
.. ..
As passionate agents of change and healing we are committed, to guide as servant leaders. Challenge is the existing power that requires commitment for both public and private. Fence sitters only hurt both sides. We must get to work and put our thoughts and ideas on the line. More than anyone else, I’m the one who must dare and willing to risk it all. Dare to be great and lead change will require my total presence, not just a “punch the clock” Mentality. I will do this without any interest in glory or power. Great leaders are willing and able to reflect their light onto their teams. Great leaders don’t want the attention, but they use it to empower others. I’ve heard that people are calling me an ego-maniac and that this whole movement is about me and my vendetta against my former mentors. Nothing could be farther from the truth! I am committed to this movement through my desire to add value and help people heal. My only desire is to empower others to believe in themselves, not to raise the value they hold of me. I know that it is the intent of our leadership that matters most. True leaders can sniff out unauthentic people who are seeking attention or looking out for number one. I am committed to use all recognition and authority as a tool to unite us and reinforce our deep values in personal growth, peace and brotherhood. My motivation is not of money or status, it is the pure joy of finally seeing my brothers and sisters enjoy the same quality of freedom that I have lived for nearly two decades. This is about what I can do for this tribe not what it can do for me! I truly deeply desire to serve and leave a legacy of greatness and freedom. Freedom causes our personal responsibility to rise and surface. We either rise with it or we will lose our freedom. The only way to cultivate freedom is through experiencing and learning how to handle an increasing number of options. Managing options is how we expand our lives into an ever-increasing wealth mind set. However we will remind ourselves that a wealthy mindset is not about money or things, it is about freedom and generosity.....
We will encourage people to see their blessings as a responsibility to bring love and security to the environment they live in. Pour their lives into the long-term benefits of society and future generations, thus changing the destiny of any that will ever bare their names. A culture of honor is not an idea; it’s a practice, a practice of giving! I dream of a generation whose dream it is to benefit the world around them by learning to handle and give away the limitless, transforming resources of Gods kingdom. ....
We will build a culture of honor that is love driven not rule driven. We will share in the belief that we are free people. We will do whatever it takes to courageously embrace this truth, walk in it and come to know it as our reality! A true culture of love!! I believe there are clashes going on of two dominions; fear and love; freedom and control; old and new covenant; and law and grace.....
I will choose to lead, not manage, and do my best to connect with the heart and needs of our community. I will work to unify our tribes in purpose over action. We will be unified by spirit and harmony not rules and enforcement. I will encourage a 360 degree style of leadership that runs all directions not upline/downline only. Positional leadership will be abolished and mentoring relationships will be based on mutual love, trust and respect. No submission, just love and trust. We will have peace in open source communication and environments like social networks where we can openly share ideas and help each family member. Communication will be kept constant via twitter and mobile updates.....
This will create discomfort for those that crave authority and power. It is this discomfort that will force all of us to grow in our own confidence and love for each other. It is uncomfortable to lead a tribe of independent thinkers, it is uncomfortable to run with an idea that might fail, it is uncomfortable to challenge the monolithic organizations that have dominated this industry for 50 years and it is uncomfortable to resist settling for the safe route. But it is in this discomfort that we find the place where new leadership is needed the most!....
This is a call to action; we need all of you to be actively involved in leading this tribe and spreading this message of growth, love and peace. Truly it will be up to the micro leaders that are out in the trenches every day not just the current leaders of this movement. We will be relying on the contributions of the young enthusiastic people of passion and purpose. I hope to create a vacuum affect that pulls all of you to your highest purpose. Leadership is a choice and to do nothing is a choice. Hiding or sitting on the fence is a choice to do nothing. I respect whatever you choose and have no personal attachment to your decisions but my prayer is that you will desired to achieve your highest calling. I Love you no matter what and this decision will not alter that commitment. ....
Just showing up will not be sufficient, we must work hard to reach out to the hurting people of the world. We must act confidently, humbly and peacefully to find these wounded souls. So many people have a front up; therefore it is my call to help them find the true purpose that lies dormant in their minds. We must help them find their voice and realize that the safest thing we do feels risky and the riskiest thing we can do it play it safe! This will be the mindset that will set our cooped up passions free and lead us to distinguish our own greatness from the mediocrity that we have been hiding behind.....
