If you are breathing you can Lead

I am reading Robin Sharma's latest book "The Leader who had no Title"; it's amazing. Two keys points that are landing big time with me right now are:

1) If you breathe you are a leader and 2) You cannot lead others until you do the inner work to elevate and lead yourself.

These messages are brilliant and keys to thriving in today's turbulent environment.

"It is no longer an excuse to say you don't have a high rank so you don't need to take ownership for the results of an organization"--R. Sharma

Or I will add the results in your life. If you breathe, you can lead. We can lead in our homes, in our communities, in our work. Leaders do what's right. Leaders do the right things even when it is difficult. Leaders elevate others. Leaders create positive change wherever they go.

You can be at a party in a group of people who have decided to partake in gossip and negative talk; leaders have done the inner work to know that engaging in this type of energy magnifys it. A leader might set the intention to shift the conversation, shed a positive or different perspective or can choose to walk away to shift energies elsewhere.

I say this a lot but I find that it is so true, "the only work worth doing is the work on yourself - the inner work".

"You cannot elevate and champion another person until you do the inner work required to elevate and champion yourself" -- R Sharma

When you begin to do the inner work to elevate yourself often it is simply your energy that creates positive change in your environment. You are open to seeing the world from a different perspective. Doing inner work releases energy and this puts you in motion. It makes things happen and self leaders know this. Some might say leaders are born. I agree with Sharma, if you breathe you can lead but it will take work, it will take doing the difficult stuff - liking getting up early to do it. It will take doing what's right. It will take failing or falling off course many times and getting focused and energized to get back on course.

If you are breathing this is the only work worth doing...trust me on this. If you are not doing so yet, begin the inner work and go Lead somewhere right now.

Incredibly inspired and grateful to be alive right now,
