Leadership – starts with you

24-30 December 2018

Leadership has a purpose. People who know what they want in life go for it. Thought alone will not get you there. All the wishing and hoping that the New Year is going to be different in whatever way you want it to be, will not happen unless you take the action that will take you there. Life is a journey.

A leader, according to the dictionary, is a person who has the support of his peers to lead or direct. Another viewpoint is that if you want to tread your own path and make your own way in the world then you need to recognize, acknowledge and accept that you are the leader of your life.

There are many people who have not ‘followed’ others yet have been inspired by observing others who feel that they have a purpose then continue to strive to achieve it, even though at times, they may put themselves on hold.

Sometimes you are honored with having the bonus of having friends or family who support your dreams to live the life of your dreams by having them spur you on. What a great gift to have that in your life. Often these people will believe in your more than you do. Sometimes the universe just seems to test you to find out if you truly do want what you say you want too.

You can also attend courses, workshops, have a life coach or be part of a mastermind mentorship group. Only you know what you want to achieve by the end of the year, only you know what you need to do to get there. Listen to your intuition, use your wisdom to get the support you need and be the leader of your life so that others may be guided by you – remember leadership starts with you. You’ve got this!

A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way and shows the way. – John C. Maxwell

How do you build character? You focus on one characteristic a week. Often when people go through challenging times in their life they are referred to as character building opportunities. We strive to help you build your character on a weekly basis so that when you go through challenging times, as we all do, you will be better equipped emotionally and mentally to tackle and cope with what life throws at you. By joining our tribe you will not only contribute by creating the world you want to live in – you will inspire others to do the same. Be the change you want to see in the world. Make a difference.

How to practice the ‘Character Of The Week’ (5 mins a day max.):

Every morning: 1) Read the card; 2) Reflect on what the card is saying to you right now; 3) Have a great day by trusting that this characteristic will come to mind at the right time during your day

Every evening: 1) Reflect whether, when and how you strengthened this characteristic today; 2) if you did strengthen it be proud of who you are; if you didn’t strengthen that characteristic what would do differently next time if you got the opportunity.

Life is all about living and learning – and taking action – enjoy!
