Hmmm… the title of this post reminds me of a song written by two of the world’s most accomplished composers. If you take the time to read the lyrics you will find that the meaning behind the song stirred up quite a controversy. Some would say it was a song of pain, anger,and a feeling of loss…some would say it was discriminatory others would say it was a plea for wanting a current situation to return to the way things were before. Whatever the interpretation one perceives, the fact of the matter is that change is almost always met with some kind of resistance.

     As an intuitive I really try my best to be more of an observer than a participant when change ruffles feathers so to speak. The saying, “ Too many chiefs and not enough Indians” holds so much power especially when those who are considered to be followers see themselves worthy enough to hold the title of chief. What does this have to do with change you may ask….if you think about it… many chiefs were once followers that have let their new position go to their heads. Ultimately the followers become disillusioned when chiefs begin to fight amongst themselves; yes,continually competing to be the most knowledgable and greatest  in all the land.

     The followers want to be chiefs so badly, they would do anything to say stop, I can be a chief, I am worthy but if being chief requires competition and constant battle maybe the title isn’t worth the price one has to pay. My point is that we are all worthy enough to follow our own paths one that will help enrich and improve the lives of others along the way, however, if you lose focus on your original purpose while being in a leadership position one that is supposed to set an example for others, maybe it’s time to step back and re-evaluate why you wanted to be chief in the first place.
