Standing in the Light (A Lakota Way of Seeing) by Servert Young Bear and R.D. Theisz

p. 119
  • By Caring, I think, I had to set the example of leadership.
  • ...it's very difficult to be in that leadership role because it demands that commitment and responsibility of selflessness
  • On the day when I knew my own identity, really knew who I am, it was because I found that I wanted people to remember how I cared.  I think that's why when I take on any responsibility, I give my whole ind, heart, and body to it...There's a very think line between real leadership and overdoing it.
From reading these lines, I acknowledge that leadership is not something to be taken lightly. It is actually another quality to have in life.  Reflecting back on everything I've done so far (and not to sound egotistical or anything), I've notice that most of the time I am placed in a position with a lot of responsibility.  Sometimes too quickly and too much at once. Which leads to stress.

Stress isn't good. 
Maybe I need to reconsider/reanalyze my priorities?
hmmm, no. it's not priorities...
 just manage the amount of tasks I'm responsible for. 
I think, for now.
