Leadership



Right now, what do we need most to cope with this situation?

This global enemy is consuming us all—if not by directly affecting our health, then by infiltrating our minds with fear and uncertainty.

Many of you are working from home, studying from home, and in some places, even grocery shopping from home. The news delivers daily updates—or should I say, a daily mental dose. Staying informed isn’t wrong, but the aftereffects of constant exposure are concerning. Limit your news intake. Yes, it tells you how fast the crisis is spreading, its economic impact, and supply shortages. But in the end, it also gives precautions—measures to balance the fear it instills.

And when we're not watching the news, what do we discuss? Cleaning our homes? Stockpiling food? How often do we talk about motivation? About hope?

So, I ask again—what do we need most right now? What should we do? What role should each of us play?

The answer is simple. We need leaders in every household—not just to ensure cleanliness and order, but to inspire hope in these dark times. We all need hope.

"The true test of leadership is how well you function in a crisis." —Brian Tracy

For instance, if someone is struggling to focus while working from home, encourage them to take short breaks. Remind them they are doing enough. Many have lost their jobs—if you still have work, be grateful. Cherish what you have right now. Be thankful for your health, your family, your friends, and your loved ones.

If you're taking precautions, why let worry consume you? Instead, focus on what you can control:

Meditate.
Rest and relax.
Most importantly, pray.
Stay motivated and inspire those around you. Be the leader who lifts others up, and in doing so, create more leaders. Now is the time to step up. Now is the time to lead.

Great Poem and reminds me of another poem .... one written a long time ago, but it reminds us all that leadership is showing the way, not just telling the way .... Edgar Guest .... Sermons We See ..... http://www.yourdailypoem.com/listpoem.jsp?poem_id=2270 .... That poem changed me from a very confused position, to something I should have been all along, not just telling the way, but showing the way, a true leader. I can't lead if no one is following.
Great poem and thanks :)

Sermons We See
by
Edgar Guest


Next

I'd rather see a sermon than hear one any day;
I'd rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way.
The eye's a better pupil and more willing than the ear,
Fine counsel is confusing, but example's always clear;
And the best of all the preachers are the men who live their creeds,
For to see good put in action is what everybody needs.

I soon can learn to do it if you'll let me see it done;
I can watch your hands in action, but your tongue too fast may run.
And the lecture you deliver may be very wise and true,
But I'd rather get my lessons by observing what you do;
For I might misunderstand you and the high advise you give,
But there's no misunderstanding how you act and how you live.

When I see a deed of kindness, I am eager to be kind.
When a weaker brother stumbles and a strong man stays behind
Just to see if he can help him, then the wish grows strong in me
To become as big and thoughtful as I know that friend to be.
And all travelers can witness that the best of guides today
Is not the one who tells them, but the one who shows the way.

One good man teaches many, men believe what they behold;
One deed of kindness noticed is worth forty that are told.
Who stands with men of honor learns to hold his honor dear,
For right living speaks a language which to every one is clear.
Though an able speaker charms me with his eloquence, I say,
I'd rather see a sermon than to hear one, any day.

So yes, don't just tell someone how to do something, show them, greater benefits for both :)

Do you feel trapped in your own thoughts?   Like your mind is a never-ending maze, filled with worries, doubts, and fears? What’s stopping you from breaking free? Pause. Breathe. You're overthinking again. That restless feeling, that voice whispering worst-case scenarios—it’s just another trick your mind is playing. But you are not your thoughts. You are the master of your mind, not its prisoner. So take control. MASTER your mental power. Whatever is weighing you down, let it go. Free your mind, free yourself. Let your heart take the lead—it knows the way. When you think with your heart, you find clarity. When you see with your heart, you recognize truth. When you listen with your heart, you understand beyond words. When you feel with your heart, you experience life fully. When you act with your heart, you move with purpose. When you speak with your heart, your words heal. "Think with your heart. See with your heart. Hear with your heart. Feel with your heart. Act with your he...

The Historical Significance of Palestine: From First Temple to Hazrat Musa (A)

Palestine in the Time of Hazrat Musa (AS): A Divine Test and a Cosmic Shift The story of Palestine begins with Hazrat Musa (AS) and Bani Israel. After their escape from Pharaoh's oppression in Egypt, the Israelites wandered in the wilderness for forty years due to their disobedience. According to Islamic tradition and Jewish scripture, Allah had promised them a blessed land—Palestine—if they remained steadfast in faith and obedience. However, when ordered to enter the land, they refused out of fear of its inhabitants, leading to their prolonged wandering in the desert (Al-Ma'idah: 21-26). Only after the passing of that generation did their successors, under the leadership of Prophet Yusha (AS) (Joshua), enter the promised land. One unique aspect often overlooked is how this period of wandering reshaped not only the faith but also the identity of Bani Israel. The delay in entering Palestine was not merely a punishment—it was a divine transition where a new generation, unshackled...

Meditation

Are you truly at peace? If your answer is yes , then why do you still feel lost? Why do you drift off track? Why do you find yourself stuck, living a life beneath your potential? "It is not death that a man should fear, but rather he should fear never beginning to live." — Marcus Aurelius Take a moment. Be still. Pause. Breathe in. Breathe out. Let go of distractions. Now, ask yourself: Am I content with who I truly am? True contentment is not about mere comfort or temporary happiness. It is a deep alignment of the soul, mind, and body. When these are in harmony, there is clarity. There is strength. There is a purpose that guides your every step. But if they are not… What is holding you back? Fear? Doubt? The weight of past regrets? The anxiety of the unknown? Life does not wait. It continues to move forward, whether you choose to grow with it or remain stagnant. The real question is: Are you truly living? If your soul, mind, and body are aligned… then embrace life as it un...
