It is a new year. It's a new decade. Welcome to 2020! With these moments on the calendar, there's always the hope of great change. But the reality is the movement of dates on the calendar doesn't create change, something else has to happen. Very little change occurs until you make a significant change in the way you see the world. And this is the topic of this week’s podcast episode.
A BETTER VERSION OF YOUR LIFE BEGINS WITH A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF YOURSELF
By better I don't mean earning a greater revenue or obtaining more success. These things are valuable. When I talk about better I mean less entangled and becoming more available to the people you serve (family, team, community). Change cannot be based on what's going on outside. It really has to begin on the inside. And this can actually pose a challenge to many.
CHALLENGE YOUR MINDSET IF YOU’RE GOING TO GET BETTER
You have to challenge your own mindset if you're going to get better. Oftentimes, pushing through challenges to come out as a better version of yourself—you cannot not get there alone. Leaders need other leaders. Peers need other peers. You need people in your corner who have experienced the same challenges, the same threats, or the same types of successes. We need others to fuel our endeavors in order to afford us the sense of safety which comes from knowing our struggles aren't unique—even though our paths may be different. In actuality, our journeys are more the same.
Leaders who are free in themselves will encourage freedom in those they're given to serve. If we, as leaders, are still trying to get our needs for safety and survival met, we will never be fully available to give anything more to those who are making the journey with us.
Until next time, lead well!
