Well faithful readers, we are on the home stretch, as they say. Tomorrow we will begin the 12th, and final, month of our Intentional Leadership* journey. Over the next four weeks, we will focus on, think about, and take action in the area of Belief! It’s a fitting time of year for that — with the holidays coming up — don’t you think?
I believe each and every one of us is born with tremendous potential, and all the resources we need to reach it.
I believe each and every one of us can do all that we dream of and more.
I believe each and every one of us needs the support, insight, encouragement, and objectivity that is available to us only through a close friend or confidante…they see us as we cannot, and can provide us with new perspectives around how we interact in the world.
I also believe that too many of us fall short of our potential because our belief in ourself is not strong enough, and, as a result, we languish in our comfort zone, shackled with fear and doubt, and when we fail to live into our potential, we diminish others because we fail to share what we were meant to share with the world.
As Henry Ford said,
Whether you think (believe) you can or can’t, you are right.
Think of belief this way: It is the ignition switch that will launch you off the pad, if only you will hit the button!
Before we jump into the next four weeks, spend some time with your journal today and answer these questions:
What do I believe to be true about myself?
What do I believe is my potential as a leader?
What do I believe I am here to accomplish on earth?
What beliefs about myself do I need to accomplish my vision?
How have my beliefs about myself limited my ability to achieve what I have set out to do in the past?
What results can I attribute to my current self-beliefs?
