“To be whole.”
A leader’s goal in life is to be a whole person. This is an awakened state of mental, emotional, and spiritual consciousness; here, all his/her faculties are firing, working and available as this leader navigates the duties of a community authority, warrior-protector, healer, treasurer and economist. He is a leader responsible for his people, family, ‘na’mima, lands, and resources. It has been said that “a leader knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way. More than anything, this kind of leader empowers his/her family, ‘na’mima members, so each can reach their leadership potential. To be whole is to model wholeness, truth, opportunity and possibility. In this way, there is hope, faith, promise and trust.
