Become the leader that’s within you

As we look at our world today, we are witnessing some of the world’s largest leaders battling over countries, having conflicts with each other, going through trade deals and some leaders suffering disrespect from the people of that country.  The question would be to ask but what makes a leader great?What is behind a leader making the right choices?  What can we learn to become the best leaders in our lives and not suffer from too many conflicts or battles?  

The answer to me would be connecting with the universal energy that surrounds us.    

• Are you one of these that have struggled in life and not got to where you want to get to?

• Do you find that life becomes far too stressful for you when you are trying to lead your company to a brighter future?  

• Or do you at times find yourself struggling with showing your family your truest leadership potential?

Becoming the leader for others to look at can seem daunting and a challenge that many may not like to face.  They must go through facing challenges head on to help support their family or to keep the staff in employment.  

A leader needs to be able to think clearly about what direction to turn in life, to try and remain calm, also with not becoming too overwhelmed with it all.  At times the leaders will need to step outside of their comfort zone to be able to navigate the challenges that they face.  They may hit a wall of fear and anxiety and think what next, what more can I do?  

Sometimes we a leaders need to take rest, we need to be able to regain our thoughts, and we need to rationalise the thoughts that we are having.  When wanting to be able to expand and come up with something new, we need to show others that we are determined by this, showing the commitment and effort that is needed to obtain our wishes.   

The thing to consider is how?  How can we get to that place we want to be?  What can we do?

Clear self-doubt and limiting belief

With wanting to succeed and become the greatest leader, either in business or for your family, even yourself, you need to work on all those niggling feelings that’s holding you back.  The self-doubt that’s kicking in to say, is this the right thing to do.  In a sense this is your ego mind trying to protect you as you are starting to delve into a new direction of your life.  

Limiting beliefs can come from when we were born, it’s what’s been put into us, what we’ve heard, what people have said to us, we sometimes keep hold of these beliefs.  Now is the time to let these go, let the old be our past and that’s the only place it should be.  The past no longer serves your future in becoming the better leader of your life.  

Take time for yourself

Taking the time for yourself is so important, to be able to recharge your batteries and to be able to gain your own self trust.  By working on ourselves we start to enjoy everything about us.  We start to love who we are and everything we can achieve.  With doing things like meditation, breathwork or taking a walk out in nature, we can connect with what is inside of us.  It’s our strength, the strength that we have, to become the best version of ourselves, that others can look to.  

Be honest 

How can a leader, lead if they aren’t honest with others.  Okay not everything needs to be told with the direction that you vision, but be honest, I can’t stress this enough.  By being honest with others will mean that if anything does go wrong, then you can’t be blamed.  

People seek honest people, they look for the good-natured people, more will look up at you, they will even turn to you for your advice with what to do.  Being honest will mean that people will be naturally drawn to you, in turn this is natural leadership.  

Not only being honest with others, its also to be honest with yourself, what areas in your life to you need to change, what are you lacking for example, what changes do you have to make to make you come across as the better person. 

Learn to become more empathetic

Learning to become more empathetic can sometimes be daunting for some people, but simply to start doing this effectively, is to listen.  Listen to others with what they are telling you.  Now imagine being in their shoes, see how you feel being in their position.  You are then able to understand others needs and wishes.  

Send out love whenever you can, not everything is great, there will be times when things become slightly awkward, and conflicts may arise.  The thing being is, remain in your own power and strength, coming from the energy that’s around you.  Embrace this energy and send out the love to those that’s making things a little awkward for you.  Stand back and just notice the changes that unfolds in others when doing this.  It works.  

Connection to the universe

Stay connected to the universe, God or spirit or whatever you believe in.  Knowing that you have everything within you that’s in the universe, gives you that inner knowing.  You are part of a bigger picture that is playing out, remain in control of how you lead your life, naturally you also will lead others too.  

Think of yourself being the main lion of the pack, that lion knows exactly what it needs to do to be able to get its food for the family.  The way he does that is he’s always connected, always in this present moment, keeping himself focused of where he needs to be.  The past will distract him, thinking about the future will set him off in too many directions, remaining in the present moment will give the lion everything he needs.

Believe and know that the more we connect with our own inner strength, the more we can put trust and faith in our own inner guidance.  Know that the universe will guide us and support us.  Opportunities will show up in our lives when we least expect it, the right people, places, even down to money.  Remember everything around us is spirit energy in form. You can always be a leader, lead from within. 

Love to you all
