Callled to compliment!

Perhaps I’m not the only one, hopefully I’m not, that cringes or withdraws at the mention of the notion that a man must dominate others and always come out as the best amongst others. I find it rather counter productive, more especially in the Christian community- unnecessarily creating tension, strife and conflict amongst brothers.

Please do not see this as an attempt to extinguish a man’s raw flame or suppress some instincts but most certainly an attempt, if you would allow, to present the basics of what I have come to know as healthy ambition. Self-discipline is one of the key building blocks of healthy ambition, not forgetting the willingness to maintain consistent self improvement- I guess we can call it healthy competition with oneself. Though I encourage self improvement and progression in life, I firmly discourage attaining success by purposely sabotaging others.

At the core of healthy ambition- would’ve been more appropriate if you had mentioned it earlier! I can imagine some saying- is what I perceive as servant leadership. I believe we as men, not exclusively though, are all leaders in our own right and capacity- atleast leaders of our own destiny- so in our pursuit to fulfil destiny we should take our strides with an attitude of serving society. We as men should interact with one another with the intention to compliment, amongst other positive interactions, not only with words but with actions as well.

Let us speak life to one another....

Let us see another man’s strengths, gifts and talents as a blessing to society not as a threat. See his strengths, gifts and talents as a blessing that will help make you a better man!

Though I didn’t expound much in this particular post, I hope it will serve as a part of the sail that will help propel our ship to our final destination.
