Time to be Humble

In lab on Wednesday we learned about famous leaders in history and the qualities that make them good.  While we have discussed good leadership qualities before that class, one quality seemed to hit home with me as we were talking.  One difference between successful leaders that have good intentions and other leaders is humility.  Most leaders that people happily follow are humble and intend to help with the betterment of others rather than just themselves.  I realized that sometimes I try to accomplish things just to maybe get something cool to put on my resume or even just to make others think I'm cool.  However, especially with my role as choir director, I need to try especially hard to be humble.  I am a pretty talented musician and can tend to be critical of others when it comes to music.  I need to realize that the ward choir is mostly about creating music to invite the spirit, not necessarily to have good quality of music.  If I can humble myself and realize that the choir is about the spirit rather than about me I think my experience as ward choir director will be much more enjoyable.
