Step Up and Lead

In a previous post, I asked the reader if they had the fortitude to step up to the plate and lead their neighbor or neighborhood for the sake of truth and prosperity.

To be a leader, you must:

"Be" ~ practice what you preach; be the person you say you are
"Know" ~ have knowledge. This includes the integrity to hold only to truthful knowledge, not propaganda
"Do" ~ put your beliefs into action

First things first, let us discuss the "Be" and the "Know".

It is my opinion that if you are to be a leader at this stage in the game, you need to come to the table already an embodiment of someone who practices what they preach. Very simply, I cannot help you with the "Be" portion; you either 'are' or you 'are not'.

While the overall intent of both this blog and the resource links contained within this post is to educate, as a potential leader it is inherent that you already possess at least some degree of knowledge relating the Constitution, the system of Government and the proper role of Government thereof. It need not be a vast and total understanding, just a basic grasp of some history and a few of the concepts in play. Again, at this stage in the game, you must already "Know" some of the basics on your own.

My purpose as the author of this post is only to develope the "Do" portion of this three part leadership philosophy - how to properly put your beliefs into action. First off, I proudly proclaim and admit that you exceed this author in your potential to shape the cause! I have never been one to micro-manage; I am no Wizard of Oz. All I can do is hopefully gain your attention, and show you a few resources to aid you in your pursuits.

I can tell you something, however, that is non-debatable: you must understand that as a leader in a cause such as the survival of our Republic, there are factors that must always be present if we are to accomplish any objective that contributes to the overall endstate:

1. Be prepared to question with BOLDNESS
2. Once you find the TRUTH, hold to it
3. You must speak without FEAR
There is something else as well: you must always accomplish your goals "by, with, and through" the American People. While this may seem obvious, always keep in mind that you are not part of some 'fringe' group. You must understand that you are only facilitating and carrying out the vision what the Founding Fathers intended some 233 years ago.

The below links will hopefully help you shape your discussion. In addition, please take note of the recently updated list of links to the right-hand side of this page. Use them as you see fit, or don't use them at all and make your own way. If you choose the latter, if you would please take the time to make a comment and let us all know what resources you used to aid your path in leadership.

  1. I like the comments regarding leadership. It's not that many of us speaking out in the last 10 months want to reinvent our country like the liberals desire to do, it's that we are speaking out about what was set in motion back in 1776 but is now under threat.
