"When you begin to think outside the box, you often become some other "leaders" lousy follower. That usually costs something" (Andy Rayner)

"Our guardian angels are bored." (Mike Foster)

It's where I feel I'm at these days. “In the second half of life, it is good just to be a part of the general dance. We do not have to stand out, make defining moves, or be better than anyone else on the dance floor. Life is more participatory than assertive, and there is no need for strong or further self-definition” (Falling Upward. Richard Rohr.120).

Why Would They Choose You?

I have found this to be true.

".....the best and most natural way to win someone’s heart is to model a way of life that’s attractive to them.

In old Christendom, leaders got to pick their followers. In the post-everything, no-authority world, followers now choose their leaders. They won’t be picking leaders based on the leaders’ ability to preach or organize a religious institution. They will be following people they want to be with and live like."
