I was inspired by The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass since I realize that no matter what my circumstance or situation is, I can overcome the odds. My favorite quote from the book was, "In the darkest hours of my career in slavery, this living word of faith and spirit of hope departed not from me, but remained like ministering angels to cheer me on through the gloom. This good spirit was from God, and to him I offer thanksgiving and praise." I find this inspiring in that, when you have vision and hope, not even the chains of slavery can hold you down.
By applying the servant leader's 5 ways of being, I gained insight into how these 5 components fit into individuals and how the ways that these individuals utilize these components affects others around them. By being a better servant leader, I can influence those around me more effectively and better serve others, which is really what leadership is all about.
