If we’re still and listen deeply to our hearts and the hearts around us we’ll shift from simply surviving to thriving in this world. As we head into a new year let’s be a master of our life experience rather than its slave. Let’s listen and go inward in an outward looking world. Let’s make the unconscious, conscious and stop it from directing our lives. Let’s dare to self lead!💜 (photo: Trust “Tru” Katsande) #happynewyear2020 #selfleadership
She said it so well:
” The richness of the human experience would lose something of rewarding joy if there were no limitations to overcome. ”
~ Helen Keller #selfleadership 💜
A negative judgement about somebody that surfaces in thought is our inner guidance system at work pointing directly to that very thing we have not yet embraced about ourselves. Given that our common and ultimate indicators of success are the states of joy and love, it’s essential to know that if love is to flow through us to the people and things we care about, we must first have it for ourselves.💜(Photo: #LanceGrandahl) #selfleadership
We may think that our dark side is our own dirty little secret but there are 7.7 billion others, even the saintliest among us, who have one too. Rather than rejecting our shadow, a crucial self leadership-step is to embrace it, get to know it, and learn to love and appreciate the guidance and growth it provides. Otherwise we would be attempting to move only part of our whole selves forward. 💜 #selfleadership
WAHOO! New science reveals that we’re not just an expression of our genes after all! In truth, our lives are all about our environment and our perception of that environment! With the awareness that our observations are key, all feelings of powerlessness are replaced with a sense of responsibility. Making the choice to purify our perception allows us to live in harmony with our environment and reap the benefits through life experience.💕(Photo: Bud Helisson) #selfleadership
Get your self-leadership-groove on by setting your internal dialogue to the tune of these affirming truths: “I am totally independent of the good or bad opinions of others. I am beneath no one. I’m fearless in the face of any and all challenges.” ~ D. Chopra 💜 (Photo: Sergey Pesterev) #selfleadership
In the face of chaos and confrontation practicing self leaders ask, “Is this for real?” because we know that our ego has a habit of obscuring our soul’s clarity. Even the slightest undercurrent of negativity signifies that fear is clouding our vision. Unpleasant thoughts and feelings are natural human-made distractions. Making the choice to yield solutions by accepting what is while moving in the direction of intent, is self leadership.💜 (Photo: Kalen Emsley) #selfleadership
Occasionally, as we bask in the glory of a life rooted in self leadership, the ever-constant winds of change blast us with unprecedented intensity. Our roots become unearthed reminding us that resilience, rather than achievement, is the name of the game. We diligently accept what is while unmasking the inherent treasure of the tempest empowering us to behold, once again, a sunrise for a sunset.💜 (Photo: Cristina Gottardi) #selfleadership
Self leadership means to be empowered through deliberate living. It entails carefully choosing thoughts, words, and actions that support our holistic goals, dreams and desires, no matter the circumstances. It is the act of keeping our internal compass clear and focused by not getting caught up in the alluring ballyhoos of our external world. The result is the sweet scent of our best intentions coming to fruition.💜 (Photo by Seth Macey) #selfleadership
