Book excerpt: Some people lead because of their position, while others have an innate ability to inspire action regardless of the most adverse conditions. However, a universal disconnect remains - current leadership practices are exclusively focused on how the leader interacts with their people, not the people's ultimate output.A Light in the Darkness supports everyone to both lead and develop at their own pace; harnessing each individual's unique capacity while mitigating ineffective learned behaviors. Rather than a "How To" book, we challenge the reader to usher in a new era of leadership, bespoke in nature.A Light in the Darkness introduces practices that were initially found to work in the life or death situations afforded by 20 years of Military Service. We're excited to find that they work equally well from the boardroom to the classroom. The reader's art becomes adapting them for what you do, who you are, and an uncertain future - ultimately identifying the optimal process for everyone in their constellation.
Download or read book Let There Be Light in Darkness written by Asif Shakoor and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Laughter is the light that seeps into the darkest moment of our lives. It is the only wisdom that brings us closer to our human nature. Let There Be Light In Darkness is a culmination of twenty-five years of reflection on meaningful existence and seeking simplicity in truth and purpose. The sole purpose in writing poetry is to awaken the conscious mind and to let the human spirit live in the wholeness of reality. As a physician, I have used poetry to heal the ailing soul by using a holistic and integrative approach to medicine. Words have the power to move the masses and change perception of reality so that humanity can strive toward greater good. Truth can only be known once we shed light into darkness and come out of our shadowy existence fully formed. Let There Be Light In Darkness is my way of looking deep into life’s finite existence and walking toward my end with every moment of my beginning.

Download or read book Time for Transformation written by Margarete van den Brink and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2008-10-08 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an "interesting" era. In Dickens's words, it is "the best of times," it is "the worst of times." On the one hand, we encounter increasing violence and lack of conscience in the world, while on the other, we see many becoming increasingly aware and spiritually oriented. The great traditions of East and West--ancient Egyptian, Mayan, Hindu, and Christian--foretold that our time would become a critical period of transition, from materialistic preoccupation to a more spiritual focus. Esoteric teaching tells us that, in this period of transition, we will be confronted by the problem of good and evil and, consequently, by growing fear, insecurity, and violence in both society and in our own souls. Such phenomena are part of our unique time and announce the birth of a new era--socially, culturally, and inwardly. It all points to the single fact that now is the time for transformation. In this brief, life-changing book, the authors show how we can develop during this critical period of transition, moving through the darkness to the light by breaking the spell of evil. Time for Transformation offers guidance, wisdom, and encouragement in this essential in for our changing times. C O N T E N T S: Introduction 1. The Negative Forces at Work in Our Society 2.

Those types of experiences are part of the human journey. But when we find ourselves in such a place, it's important that we keep a positive perspective.

Through practical applications and scriptural insight, Blessed in the Darkness focuses on how to draw closer to God and trust Him when life doesn't make sense.

Download or read book Where Light in Darkness Lies written by Veronica della Dora and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2022-05-16 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An illuminating history of both real-life lighthouses and the beacons of literature and art alike, shedding light on the multifaceted power of these liminal structures. Suspended between sea and sky, battered by the waves and the wind, lighthouses mark the battle lines between the elements. They guard the boundaries between the solid human world and the primordial chaos of the waters; between stability and instability; between the known and the unknown. As such, they have a strange, universal appeal that few other manmade structures possess. Engineered to draw the gaze of sailors, lighthouses have likewise long attracted the attention of soldiers and saints, artists and poets, novelists and filmmakers, colonizers and migrants, and, today more than ever, heritage tourists and developers. Their evocative locations, isolation, and resilience, have turned these structures into complex metaphors, magnets for stories. This book explores the rich story of the lighthouse in the human imagination.
