A leader is a person who knows the way, goes the way and make the way. The thing that separates follower from a leader is that “A leader achieve the tasks with the help of people around him and in process make realize their own abilities and potential”. Being a leader doesn’t require an army to lead, majority in parliament to make change or being a monarch with supreme authority. A person can show leadership without authority in the simplest acts like helping a stranger, feeding a poor, making someone laugh.

The most important factor of leadership is that it ought to begin from a personal level. A person should bring change in his surroundings, in his echo system then move forward to bring change in others life. In accordance with this understanding, I look to my own surroundings that what things around me need improvement and Am I capable of changing it for good?

So, I was in my bedroom and started to observe my bedroom’s setting. I noticed that my bed is in awful shape and not in any perspective is suitable for any decent human being to rest on it. Firstly, I get little ashamed of myself and how can I be this ignorant. But then this shame was quickly overcome by a resolve to make amendment for what I did. And I said to myself imagine the best condition of this bed and make the bed resembles to it in next five minutes.

I got up from my bed. I lift up my quilt and place it on sofa followed pillows. Then I took my laptop and put it in side table. I put my cell on charging. Remove the bed sheet and took the new one from almirah. In process my mom saw me and she was starstruck that what got into me all of sudden. I spread the new bedsheet on bed and then arrange it in a well manner then I place pillows on bed in decent way. Lastly, I place my half-folded quilt on foot side of bed. After doing all that i said that to myself that now it resembles to its good state.

Making my bed with the motivation of everyday leadership feels really good. I has thoughts about making the bed earlier but I didn’t give it any priority over my other tasks but when I read that leadership begins with small acts like such. I said to myself that I had to do it now because, if I am not capable of making a sound and positive change in my own life then how can I inspire a change in others life. Thus, a simple task such as making my bed provokes the leadership qualities in me and at the end I feel great about it.
