Leadership

What makes a good leader?
What makes someone stand up for something?
To feel so inspired that they can't be quiet anymore.
To do what is right even if it is unpopular.
It doesn't take a blow torch or knocking someone over the head.
It means making a choice and doing what you feel is right in your heart and running with it until you are satisified with the outcome.
It means being a part of something bigger than you. It is not about you or being a star.
It is about opening your heart and being a mirror for the good in other hearts.
Reaching out, trusting that you are not alone in the actions you take.
Even if you are a single voice, know that you are speaking for others and others will join you and speak up for the greater good.

We have a woman now as speaker of the House. I feel proud of America this moment and this poem is dedicated to the leader in all of us.
