How to Lead Yourself and Others Too
by You might have read thousands of articles on how to lead others, but have you ever stumbled upon anything like – How to lead oneself?! Yes! Lead yourself! The one who has complete control over himself/herself, can work wonders, can command people, can RULE THE WORLD! Read on to know how…
So you are beginning to read. That’s good. It shows you are interested. The very interest reveals your unexplored potential and your desire to be successful.
I usually hate writing such HOW TO articles because there is no definite way to live a life or any set pattern you can follow to become successful. It all depends on one’s own self and it varies from person to person. This actually is not an HOW TO article. This is something which talks about proper approach, that’s it. To tell you in clear terms, these are just feel good words , you can read to boost your confidence when you are down or to give yourself a bit of comfort in times of distress.
Whatever this article says is not something like a palace built on thin air, it is but a product of experience, and can be treated as a bit of advice, but to understand this one needs to think and try to live every sentence.
Leaders don’t help anyone by worrying. Worry is a misuse of their imagination, which is a strong asset of any potential leader and should not be invested unwisely. Practice upgrading your way to concern. Then, once you state your concern, create your action plan to address it. And be sure that your action plan is really going to work because you are able, you are potent, and that is why you are a LEADER. Have faith and confidence in yourself, but one thing to be kept in mind is that there is but a thin line of separation between confidence and over confidence.
If we respond to our problems in life by worrying about them, we will spoil our mood, waste our energy, and lower our self esteem. Being a worrier is not at all a powerful self-concept. It is not inspiring to others when they see their leader worrying.
Instead of worrying, imagine some action you could take now, something bold and beautiful inspired by the current ‘problem’. Getting into that habit raises self esteem, increases energy level and love for life. People are motivated not by those who worry about life, but by those who are in love with life.
The very essence of leadership is that you got to have a vision and live by it, and work towards it and your vision should be the most accepted and joy rendering to all. Courage is the most sought after virtue. It takes a tremendous act of courage to admit yourself that you are not defective in anyway whatsoever. Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear
