Fixing stuff around yourself — Everyday Leadership

As I sat in my living room going through the project work assigned by Amal Academy, I came across an interesting task. The task was to examine our immediate surroundings and find areas that could be improved or fixed right away.

I looked around, and this blank wall in our living room stood out to me. We have been meaning to decorate it, but somehow it kept getting postponed. So, I decided to decorate it for the project.

My little sister loves to paint, so I decided to decorate it with her paintings.

And Ta da —

Doing this activity was really enjoyable. It made me feel the gist of leadership — responsibility. If it was not assigned to us, I probably wouldn’t have taken the initiative. The process allowed me to be creative and it was fun working on it with my siblings. The room looks complete now.

This activity made me realize that all you have to do is take a step. Take responsibility for any change that you want to see. This is the essence of being a leader and making a difference.
