When Death is a Good Thing

You may be confused, I realize that. Yesterday, I implored you to be Careful Not to Die. Today, I am communicating that death is good. I am not talking about physical death here, but rather the death of certain patterns and tendencies within leaders.

Here are some examples of when death is good:

• It is good when a leader gets past their own ego.
• When a leader dies to their own greed, that is a great thing.
• The death of a conquering leadership style is great for a leader and their followers.
• It is a good thing when a leader’s insecurities die in the confidence of their character.
• When a leader gives up trying to be something they are not. That is when death is a good thing.

I guess I am saying there is a good death and, quite possibly, a bad death. It takes discernment to know the difference.

It is a good thing to die to yourself so that real life can flourish and others can be empowered through your leadership. That is a good thing - something to want for yourself and others.

Live Full and Free!
