Bring Out the Invisible

Vol. I, No. 01  *  11 January 2009

By JCI Mem. IRISH ARONG RAGO, PG

I was just entering the front door, a little tired from a day’s work when Brandt, my son was rushing and hugging me excitedly:

"Mommy, guess what? I made several goals today and my team won! I remembered what you told me that I can help the team.

I went after the ball and kicked it hard. You are right, if I think that I can do it, I will be able to do it."

Wow! I was so amazed with the profound learning at such an early age and all because of a soccer practice! But was it really what I told him that made it all possible?

Perhaps. It could have given him that little push for him to believe he could do it, for him to bring out something from within to enable him to do it. For a grader, it was such an enormous achievement – leading his team to win.

What really happened was that he was able to bring out the invisible to our visible world and make a difference.

Leaders become what they are not because they are blessed with leadership skills, rather they dared to draw out the invisible – their talents, took risks to immerse themselves in opportunities for them to develop.

With persistence, they were able to create something visible that made a difference in the lives of other people.

It is relevant to recall the lesson from the Parable of the Talents. One of the three men was so afraid to lose what was given to him, so he kept it to himself. He not only failed to increase what he had but he lost what he diligently guarded.

As Dr. Henry Cloud said in his book 9 Things a Leader Must Do, “….the first thing leaders do to succeed is to listen to their hearts and invest in their inner desires and drives.”

It’s time to Shine!

Bring out that special and unique potential in you, persistently invest and be amazed of the number of people you can inspire!
