There is a task in this world
meant only for you.
Not to keep things as they are,
but to lift them higher.
To stand your ground
and guard humanity —
before we destroy
what was once paradise.
That task lives in your core,
a quiet current in your heart.
It calls for strength
and the discipline to silence the ego.
Often, it hides in plain sight —
in the flicker of your gaze,
in silence,
just beneath the surface.
It doesn’t arrive fully formed.
You feel it in experience,
in shifts you didn’t expect.
It waits for you
to gather the pieces,
to shape your power
into the work that is truly yours.
The hardest part?
To stay aligned
while the world shifts
and you ascend on your path.
So ask yourself:
In the noise of our time,
will you still follow
what quietly guides you?

Leadership and Poetry
This is part of our leadership and poetry series. If you want to use them in your office, building, boardrooms, feel free to do so, just keep my name. My poems are places in hotels, learning material of university of Applied Science, Leadership Development Boutiques. I grow it organically. No rush.
