The Bigger The Headache

"Bí orí ṣe tó ló ṣe ńfọ́ olórí " As a head is in size, so it aches the owner. Stated another way, to whom much is given much is expected. Likewise, even the imbecile has his own little problems. The challenge is to prevent the imbeciles problems from dominating the larger conversation. When you fail to prioritize the guiding principles - of your life, your family, your community - you will be trapped in low-level quarrels that never yield any real value. This is not to suggest that one person is more valuable than another, but the decisions of some people certainly have greater impact than others. And when you prioritize the high impact decisions, it will increase everyone's capacity to address the less impactful areas of concern. Leadership, after all, depends entirely upon your ability to make high quality decisions. Live the medicine.
