You are on vacation in the mountains, waiting in line, ready to go as a passenger on a river rafting trip. Suddenly someone is yelling your way, “We are missing a guide today. We need you to step up and lead one of the rafts.” Are they talking to me, you wonder. Yes! Take your place as leader of the boat and start off.
Amazingly, you know just how to navigate the rough water. Everyone in the raft needs to do their part to control the boat by paddling the right way, and you direct them with authority. You feel thrilled, not burdened, with the extra responsibilities. You are in the zone! Your passengers are having the time of their lives. Water splashes into the raft, making everyone scream in excitement. When your raft reaches calmer waters, relax with a big grin on your face. Job well done!
