💪 LEADERSHIP JOURNEY 💪
GOOD LEADERS ARE GOOD READERS- THIS MEANS THAT LEADERS ARE CONSTANLY LEARNING ALL THE TIME. ONLY IF YOU ARE A GOOD STUDENT, CAN YOU BE A GOOD TEACHER. AS THEY SAY, WALK THE TALK. LEADERS LEARN AND LEARN AND LEARN, AND ONECE THEY REAC MINIMUM UNDERSTANDING, THEY APPLY THEIR LEARNING, EVOLVE THERI BEINGS, AND START SHARING, IT IS A SIMPLE AS THAT.
KNOWLEDGE SHARED IS KNOWLEDGE GAINED. WHEN YOU TEACH SOMEONE, THE FIRST PERSON WHO LEARNS FROM IT IS YOURSELF. EVERY WORD THAT COMES OUR OF YOUR MOUTH IS FIRST HEARD BY YOU. THIS REINFORCES YOUR OWN KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING, AND BELIEF. ONCE THAT HAPPENS, YOUR MESSAGE GETS RELAYED WITH CONVICTION, AND YOU MAKE AN IMPACT.
👀 LET US BREAK SOME MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT LEADERSHIP 👀
LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT THE TITLE AND DESIGNATION YOU HOLD. LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT DICTATORSHIP. LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT DOMINANCE. LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT HOW BIG OR SMOOTH YOU TALK. LEADERSHIP IS NOT ABOUT HOW BIG YOUR OFFICE OR HOME IS.
SIMPLY STATED, LEADERSHIP IS ALL ABOUT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY -RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS YOUR OWN SELF, YOUR LIFE, WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR LIFE, AND THE IMPACT IT MAKES ON OTHERS. A BEATIFUL BOOK WRITTEN BY ROBIN SHARMA TITLED THE LEADER WHO HAD NO TITLE. A MODERN FABLE ON REAL SUCCESS IN BUSINESS AND IN LIFE EXPLAINS THIS CONCEPT VERY NICELY. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK STRONGLY AS IT WILL HELP YOU THROW AWAY YOUR MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT LEADERSHIP
❤ LEADERSHIP IS ALL ABOUT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY ❤
ONCE YOU BECOME RESPONSIBLE, YOUR FOCUS WILL SLOWLY BE SHIFTED AWAY FROM YOURSELF TO OTHERS AROUND YOU. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU WILL CARE LESS ABOUT YOURSELF - YOU WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE YOURSELF ALL THE TIME SUBSONSCIOUSLY (AS THOUGH ON AUTOPILOT) WHILE REMAINING FOCUSED ON IMPROVING THE LIVES OF OTHERS AROUND YOU.
THE IMPACT IS SO PROFOUND THAT GOOD LEADERS ATTRACT PEOPLE TO THEM LIKE MAGNERS. EVERYTHING A GOOD LEADER DOES, EVERY WORD AND EVERY ACT, BECOMES IMPORTANT. GOOD LEARNERS WILL WANT TO ASSOCIATE WITH THEM NOT AS MERE FOLLOWERS BUT AS ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS AND GAIN KNOWLEDGE TO IMPROVE THEIR OWN LIVES AS THEY WILL BE LEADERS THEMSELVES EVENTUALLY.
A GOOD LEADER WILL NEVER PREACH. THEY WILL DO THE RIGHTTHING, PRACTICE IT IN THEIR OWN LIVES, AND LET THEIR ACTIONS SPEAK. THEY WILL NOT GO OUT OF THEIR WAY TO TEACH YOU BUT IF YOU ARE WILLING TO LEARN FROM THEM, THEY WILL SHARE EVERYTHING THEY HAVE LEARNT WITHOUT HESITATION. AS THEY SAY, THE TEACHER WILL APPEAR WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY.
ALL SPIRITUAL LEADERS HAVE FOUND THEIR GURUS BY ACCIDENT BECAUSE THEIR DESIRE TO LEARN WAS SO INTENSE THAT GURUS HAD TO APPEAR IN FRONT OF THEM. COSMIC ENERGY ATTRACRED THEM TO EACH OTHER. WHETHER YOU BELIEVE IN IT OR NOT, COSMIC ENERGY IS REAL AND CAN DO WONDERS IF YOU UNDERSTAND IT.
HOWEVER, THAT IS A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT SUBJECT, AND WE WILL TOUCH UPON IT IN A LATER CHAPTER. FOR NOW, IF YOU WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE IN YOUR LIFE AND IN WHAT YOU DO (IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU WANT TO BE A GOOD LEADER), DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. DEFINE THE PURPOSE OF YOUR LIFE. IT MAY BE NOT BE AS SIMPLE AS IT SOUNDS - GREAT LEADERS HAVE SPENT THEIR ENTIRE LIVES TRYING TO UNDERSTAND IT.
2. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF AND IN WHAT YOU DO. EXCEL IN WHATEVER YOU DO. EXCEL IN WHATEVER YOU DO. IF YOU ARE DOING WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING, CHANGE IT NOW. DO WHAT YOU LOVE, AND LOVE WHAT YOU DO.
3. WALK YOUR TALK- DO NOT DO THINGS YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN. DO NOT PREACH ABOUT THE THINGS YOU DON'T DO. DO NOT BECOME A BLABBERING MACHINE.LET YOUR ACTIONS DO THE TALKING.
4. REMAIN A STUDENT THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE. NEVER FALL PREY TO THE "ARRIVAL SYNDROME" - NEVER THINK THAT YOU HAVE REACHED YOUR DESTINATION AND ALL THAT IS LEFT FOR YOU IS PREACHING. KEEP DOING WHAT YOU ENJOY UNTIL YOUR LAST BREATH ON THIS EARTH. REMEMBER THAT A.P.J. ABDULKALAM WAS DELIVERING A LECTURE IN A CLASSROOM WHEN HE TOOK HIS LAST BREATH. SHARINGTHE KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM HE GAINED OVER THE YEARS WAS HIS MISSION, AND HE DID IT PASSIONATELY UNTIL HIS LAST MOMENT ON EARTH- WHAT A GREAT LEADERSHIP QUALITY TO FOLLOW!
5. NEVER JUDGE PEOPLE BY THE WORK THEY DO, THE TITLE THEY HOLD, OR THEIR OUTER APPEARANCE - IT COULD BE GROSSLY MISLEADING.
6. THANK EVERYBODY FOR ALL THEIR ACTIONS. APPRECIATE THEIR GOOD WORK EVERY TIME.
7. ASSOCIATE WITH PEOPLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. APPRECIATE THEIR GOOD WORK EVERY TIME.
8. READ AND LEARN FROM BOOKS /MAGAZINES/ AUTOBIOGRAPHIES/ SEMINARS/ CONFERENCE IN YOUR FIELD OF WORK OR INTEREST - YOU WILL FIND PRICELESS TREASURES OF WISDOM THROUGH THESE MEDIA.
9. SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM YOU HAGVE GAINED WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE WILLING TO LEARN FROM YOU.
10. LAST, BUT NOT THE LEAST, LIVE A DISCIPLINED LIFE. WATCH WHAT YOU ARE DOING, WHAT YOU ARE EATING, WHAT YOU ARE TALKING, YOUR DAILY ROUTINE, YOUR PUNCTUALITY, HOW YOU ARE TREATING YOUR BODY, AND WHOM ARE YOU ASSOCIATING WITH MOST.

TRAIN YOUR MIND TO TAKE SMALL ADVENTURES
👇
TRAIN YOUR MIND TO TAKE SMALL ADVENTURES, AND LET IS UNDERSTAND THAT NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN - IT IS ALL IN YOUR MIND.
1. TAKE THAT AMUSEMENT RIDE THAT YOU WERE ALWAYS AFRAID TO TAKE.
2.TAKE A DIFFERENT ROUTE WHILE DRIVING LONG DISTANCES IN YOUR CAR - GET LOST, AND FIND A NEW WAY.
3. TALK IN PUBLIC IF YOU HAVE A FEAR OF SPEAKING IN PUBLIC - THIS WILL TRAIN YOUR MIND TO GET USED TO THE FACT THAT NOTHING WILL HAPPEN EVEN IF YOU FAIL.
4. LOOK STUPID IN A GROUP BY SHARING A LAME JOKE - THIS WILL HELP YOU STOP FEELING SELF - CONSCIOUS AND COME OUT OF THE "LOOKING- GOOD SYNDROME".
5. GO ON A VACATION WITHOUT BOOKING A HOTEL BEFOREHAND - THIS WILL TRAIN YOUR MIND TO EXPLORE AND KNOW THAT YOU CAN DEAL WITH UNCERTAINTY.
6. GO SCUBA DIVING, IF YOU DON'T KNOW SWIMMING, TO OVERCOME YOUR FEAR OF WATER.
7. SLEEP ALONE AT HOME IF YOU ARE AFRAID TO DO SO - IT WILL HELP YOU LEARN THAT NOTHING BAD WILL HAPPEN.
8. PLAY THE VIDEO GAMES YOUR KID PLAYS ALL THE TIME - IT DOES NOT MATTER IF YOUR SPEED IS A HUNDRED TIMES LESSAR THAN YOUR KID'S.
9. CHANGE YOUR JOB JUST FOR THE SAKE OF IT IF YOU THINK THAT YOU CAN NEVER BE PAID AS WELL AS YOU ARE RIGHT NOW OR IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE TO OTHER OPTION BUT TO STICK AROUND.
10. CHANGE YOUR HOUSE OR CITY IF YOU FEAR LOSING NEIGHBOURS - TURNING YOUR LIFE UPSIDE DOWN WILL HELP YOU GET USED TO NEW ENVIRONMENTS.
11. STAY ALONE FOR A FEW DAYS, OR BETTER STILL, TAKE A TEN - DAY VIPASSANA COURSE IF YOU THINK YOU ARE SOCIAL ANIMAL WHO CAN NEVER BE ALONE OR LIVE WITHOUT TALKING TO OTHERS FOR A DAY - YOU WILL LEARN TO BE SPEECHLESS FOR TEN DAYS!
ONCE YOU GO THROUGH SOME OF THESE OR SIMILAR EXPERIENCES, YOU WILL FIND IT EASY TO TRAIN YOUR MIND TO OVERCOME FEAR. GOOGLE DEFINES FEAR "AS UNPLEASANT EMOTION CAUSED BY THE THREAT OF DANGER, PAIN, OR HARM."
THIS MEANS THAT ONCE YOU OVERCOME THIS, YOU WILL HAVE KILLED THE BASIC CAUSE OF ANXIETY.
IN MOST CASES,IT IS FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN THAT LEADS TO ANXIETY. SO, ONCE YOU FACE IT, YOU WILL BE AT HOME WITH IT, SEE IT THROUGH A NEW PERSPECTIVE, ENVISION NEW POSSIBILITIES, AND EXPERIENCE A DIFFERENT AND NEW WORLD. GO FOR IT! IT IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT - THIS IS SO TRUE.
