What is Leadership and Who are You Leading?

Leadership is a topic which seems to always be front and center when it comes to personal growth and development.

And there are key considerations to the topic of leadership: Who are you leading? And who's leading you?

I've come to understand that's a bit of a trick question -- because the answer to either question needs to be "me".

If I'm not leading me first, then who would want to follow me?

The key to what I'm getting is who I'm being. And who I'm being is an "inside job" ... it's about my thoughts and the inner focus I bring which sets the basesline from I take action.


"The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude;
be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful,
but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not
arrogant; have humor, but without folly."

Jim Rohn

So when I am confidently being the leader of me, then I find and exhibit the balancing of those challenges Jim Rohn speaks of. I'm strong, kind, bold, thoughtful, humble and proud in my thinking and my words with myself and with others. And I find the humour in things. I operate in a relaxed and confident manner.

Your level of leadership is merely a reflection of your internal energy, your focus, your expectation, and your willingness to step into action.

I can either be a leader or I can be a victim.

So which are you? What decision are you willing to make for yourself today about who you intend to be. What example will you set today for yourself, for your kids, for your partner, for your friends, or for your co-workers?

So, given this conversation, what is leadership for you today? And who are you choosing to lead today?

Choose well.

Be The Leader And Raise Your Vibration

When you choose to be the leader, you automatically raise your vibration. And by law of attraction, when you raise your vibration, you begin to attract more of what you want.

I realize I keep coming back to this topic of vibration, but I've come to realize it truly is the key to to utilizing law of attraction in a deliberate way.

What does choosing to be the leader mean? Well, in my book, being the leader means doing what you say you intend to do.

Lets look at a really simple example.

If you intend to do 50 pushups in the morning and you actually do them, you have chosen to be the leader in that moment. If you skip them, then you have chosen to be the victim. End of story.

But an interesting thing happens when you follow through with your intention. You begin to feel better about yourself. You are in integrity with who you intended to be. And so your vibration can't help but increase. (Note the opposite happens when you're out of integrity).

Now, because you're in integrity with your intention, you are much more likely to want to follow through with your next intention. Once you do that, you suddenly have momentum. And with momentum, amazing things begin to happen.

This is so deceptively simple, yet it's where I see most people -- including myself -- sof often miss the point.

You can begin being the leader of yourself immediately ... right now ... regardless of where you are, where you've been, or what's going on around you.

Simply set an inention for yourself in the next few minutes, write it down and declare it, and then do it. Then repeat the process.

Do this over and over as many times as you can throughout the day and you will feel like a completely different person by the end of the day.

And the watch what begins to show up in your life. Because now that you've chosen to be the leader and stay in integrity with yourself, you've begun to raise your vibration in a very deliberate, profound fashion -- and so the universe will begin to open up to you.

Thanks for reading.
