“It is essential to distinguish between events that are really beyond
your control and events you caused yourself.”
~ Barbara Sher
There is an interesting duality to leadership.
On one hand, we need to be willing to acknowledge that there is something greater than ourselves to which we are connected, that breathes life into us and illuminates our path. It is important to learn to trust this guidance and be willing to receive its inspiration.
On the other hand, we must also take responsibility for own experiences.
To move forward with any kind of sustained progress, we must acknowledge that we push our own buttons. The sooner we catch ourselves telling tales about how other people, things, or circumstances are to blame for our behavior, the more power we will have to move in the direction we ultimately want to go.
Once we become aware of our tendency to give our power away, we are in a position to take it back.
Unleash the Extraordinary!
