Leadership
If, we were given an
opportunity to dissect you, what we will find? Perhaps, a lot of things. Finer
details that only identifies you, and not anyone else. The other thing that we could
possibly find, which is very important to you is the power in you. It is deeply
ingrained in every human being. You were created, and put in charge of you. To
take care of things that matter to you. Things like the choices you make every
day. You are supposed to make choices that build you, and make you an
outstanding figure in your community, or society. We are supposed to be
tremendous people. People with great impacts in the lives of other people. But
do we end up being tremendous on the go? Absolutely no. We struggle with
certain things along the way. In the midst of those struggles, we never realize
the leader in us.
There is a leader in us
that needs to get to work. You are supposed to use the leadership skills in you
to chart a clear path for your life. It is a power that you need to tap on from
the inside. However, the most unfortunate thing is that, not everyone
recognizes the leadership power in them. People spend so much time doing things
that they don’t like. We spent so much time drifting around. We have failed to
lead ourselves. You are supposed to lead yourself. Have you been leading
yourself lately? Did you define the kind of leader you are to yourself? Did you
use your leadership power to make the right decisions? Did you even know that
there is a leadership power in you? Living in purpose does not just happen. You
have to work for it. One way to find your path to your purpose is listening to
yourself. Questioning your decision making processes. And doing some
reflections. You need to be concerned if, you find yourself to be an anyhow
type of person.
Bring your life under
control. Make decisions that will ground you. Get more interested in yourself,
and things that matter to you. People say, and do a lot of things. However, you
are not a lot of things. You are just you, and you need to find you. Calm down
the storms in you. Start defining your boundaries in terms of things you let
in. you cannot be everywhere all the time. And you cannot also be everything to
everyone all the time. But you can be you all the time. What does you want, or
appreciate all the time? Find that, and it will begin to lead you to something
very special. You deserve to be at peace with everything within you. You
deserve to experience immense endless joy that comes from within. You will not
have all that if, you don’t begin by bringing order in your own life.
Self-esteem
How do you see yourself?
Do you feel elements of inadequacy, or abundance? Do you usually see someone
bringing you down inside your mind? Who could be this person? And why is he or
she bringing you down? Seeing your worth is very important. Seeing yourself as
valuable energizes you. It makes you bold, and confident. You feel like going
out there, and getting it right. You are productive when your self-esteem is
positive. When your self-image is positive, your mind becomes the fuel. You can
travel so far. You can create a lot of important things, and relationships. You
can actually be anything you dream about. You have power, and you are acting
from a point of abundance, and satisfaction. You have accorded respect to
yourself, and you are acting as a respected person.
Respected people do
things that other people cannot do. They solve problems, and create solutions
that benefit people in the most meaningful manner. They are able to conquer
where others fail. They beat the odds, and become successful. You need to have
positive self-image to also live in purpose. We all have something to share
with the world. That something can only come from us. You will not know about
that something, until you decide that you want it. And one way to get there is
to have this inner force, and energy that tells you, “you’re important, and a solution
to something.”
I think you know what
damaged self-esteem does to a person. It makes people hide. It makes people
afraid, and less confident in their abilities. They see themselves as not
enough. They are inadequate, and as such, they cannot accomplish anything
major. This is when other people with certain motives, and behavior begin to
play games with you. Don’t allow yourself. Let your self-esteem remain
positive. You need it. Your life needs it. Don’t give other people permission
to damage your self-esteem. Be in charge. Be alert. You are on a mission. And
people on a mission must be prepared. Work on your self-esteem if, it is
struggling right now. There are a lot of resources in our modern beautiful
world to help you. Just discover what you need, and work on it.
Personality
Do you know your
personality type? Remember your personality is your unique characteristics that
makes you. The personality theory describes five personality traits. Who are
you among the five? (extraversion, openness, neuroticism, agreeableness, and
conscientiousness). You can learn more about the personality theory later. But
what I would emphasis here, is you need to decode you, and understand your
uniqueness. You like order, or organized environment? maybe you lean on
conscientiousness like me. Knowing you, will make it easier for you to
understand your life’s mission compared to not knowing.
It is much easier to
solve a problem that you know its source, compared to solving a problem that
you don’t know. Guess work does not apply here. You have to know the root to
fix it properly. Knowing your personality, or your uniqueness will drive you
up. You will be able to scale down on so many things including uprooting
activities that no longer make sense.
You need to be in a mentality
state where you have declared a few things as, vanity to see clearly where you
are going. Then embrace just the few things that speak to you, and move forward
with them. Living in purpose happens when you calm down, and feed from inside.
When you access all that congruence, you make progress.
Belief
Your belief system is an
engine. It needs to keep functioning for you. Positives, and negatives define
most of our belief systems. Some people are positive, while some are negative.
These two perspectives determine how we see things around us. People with
negative believe systems see a lot of negativity in the world. There is nothing
good happening. The world is coming to an end. On the other hand, positive
people see totally different things in the same environment.
You have to be careful
because what you focus your mind on, you attract. If, you spend most of your
time interpreting your world negatively, you will end up with a lot of
negatives. That is not good, or even healthy. Why should there be mountains in
your life all the time? You have to learn to climb the mountains at one point
in your life. You must be willing to climb the mountains. However, if you
nurture the spirit, or attitude of defeat, you will attract defeat in every
aspect of your life. Check your belief system. Tame it, and focus your mind on
the right things.
You will only climb so
high if, you keep thinking negatively. This is an important area in your life
that you need to pay attention towards. You need to work on it, and grow it to
some level where it can serve you. You will not get what you want if, you are
negative all the time. Of course the world has so many things that you don’t
like. In fact, the Billboard
100 top 10 songs are all composed in minor key because the
modern world has grown more pessimistic. So the songs are kind of sad, and
people love them. However, it is not your business to fix the world. Your top
priority should be to fix yourself. Fix yourself to look at the world
differently. Bring solutions to those things that upset you. Stop reacting with
your environment. Be the adult in it. You need to change. Change from negative
to positive. And begin to attract positive people, and things that will help
you live a meaningful life.
Your Mind
Perhaps the most
important question I should ask right now is, what are you feeding your mind?
Your mind is your garden. Is it clean? The garden needs to be clean to produce
good fruits for you. Weeds eat out the fertility of the garden. They will make
it produce below its potential. They will stunt the growth of good fruits. You
need good fruits to nourish you. You want to be alive, and healthy. Keep your
garden clean. Tend to it. Feed your garden the right foods. Your mind has
everything you need. You need to learn its power, and use it to your benefit.
And one way you want to maximize on the power of your mind is to watch the
things that you consume. It is that important.
There are many things
that happen every day. Materials are created every day. You can easily access
anything you think about. You only need to name the thing that you want. That
is why we have streaming services. The streaming services have learned that
people are different, and they are trying to create a catalog that just fits
you. And in the process those services have a wide library. You can learn so
much from them. When you access a streaming service for example, are you
specific? Do you go there, and just serve what is right for you, or you
experiment? There is nothing wrong with experimenting, but to what extent? Do
you have curfews? You need to start having some levels of control if, you
haven’t been implementing one. You don’t need all that content. The mere fact
that it exists does not mean that you take it all. The streaming services are
giving you options. Choose what is right for you, and your needs.
Protect your mind from
harm. The conversations, the people, programs, and things you see every day.
They all have an influence. Choose the type of influence you want from all these
things. If, you want to be misled, you will get that too. And in a world full
of information, and where almost everyone is talking at the same time, you need
to verify. Credible sources matter. So is credible information. Do that for
your mind, and allow it to serve you in the most potent fulfilling manner.
Things You Value
What is that one thing,
when taken away from you that you cannot stand. Once that thing is out, your
usefulness diminishes. Some sort of light has been taken away from you. This is
what you value. It means a lot to you. Protect it. The thing that makes you
disproportionate is your power. This is something that gives your life meaning.
You need it every day. You cannot function effectively without it. Identify
this thing, and value it. It is your purpose, your destiny, and your life. As
earlier stated, we all have meaning in this life. Your input is needed
somewhere in the world, and you are the only person who can execute it
effectively. Be there when the world calls you. Identify what you value, and
live in purpose. Forget about what other people are saying. Only remember what
you are saying. And what are you saying?
Define You
When you break down, and
evaluate yourself, what do you see, or find? Do you see a girl, a leader, an accomplished
writer, and problem solver? Do you see a source of solutions to problems? What
do you see? When I break down me, I see a leader, reader, and writer. What do
you see? You must know yourself. You need to know you. To get the most out of
life, you must know you. There are confusions around us. Shiny objects
everywhere that distract us. Go past those shiny objects, and find you.
Make the process of
succeeding in life easier for you by fitting in your cloth. Create a foundation
around your life. A foundation of things that correctly define you. Ask what
you want from life. Define the life that you want to live. The people that you
would like to meet. Places you would love to visit. And maybe, the types of
food you would love to eat. Scale it down, and get to the bottom of it. You
must know you to live in purpose. You
want to be composed, and focused to make great moves. You have one life, and
you only have enough chances to get it right. Why don’t you begin by knowing
you?
