Obligation

An obligation is an act or course of action to which a person is morally or legally bound, a duty or commitment.

While it is impossible to force someone to do anything, we tend to use our skills of persuasion whenever we can to motivate others into action.

When we consider leadership, we need to examine our obligation to Christ and others.

We have tasted the grace of God. We enjoy the gift of salvation. Just the thought carries a moral and spiritual obligation.

Considering our obligation highlights the need to commit ourselves to lead others to heaven.

Talented Purpose

Every individual has talent in one way or another. Some have more and some less, but everyone has talent.

We need to remember a statement made by Jose Marti, “Talent is a gift that brings with it an obligation to serve the world, and not ourselves, for it is not of our making.”

Talent is a gift. We all have opportunities to develop our talent. Through education or experience we can develop natural gifts and improve our talents.

We also have an obligation to use our talents to serve the greater good. The talent we have is not of our making. We must fulfill our obligation to serve others.
