Essential Laws of Successful Leadership
I listened to an amazing, mind-blowing audio cd today about the Essential Laws of Successful Leadership by Guy Finley. Finley just presented to me a totally new perspective of leadership. I’ll never look at leadership in the same way again.
When I first received that audio cd from Success University, I looked at the title and told myself that I didn’t want to hear a boring lecture on leadership. Why would I want to become a leader-leader? But after listening intently to the whole lecture, I decided that I have to become a leader - A leader to my own self (that is, before I lead others)! Because if I don’t lead myself I’ll become a follower. And as a follower, I’ll never a achieve the freedom I’ve set as my ultimate goal.
According to Finley, the reason why everyone lists down being successful, rich etc. as a goal they want to achieve is because what they truly, ultimately want is freedom. Freedom of not being under someone else’s control. Freedom to be able to lead the life they wish, to be able to do the things they truly desire.
In order to achieve that freedom, we need to become our own leaders. Finley lists down 5 Actions (to take) To A Whole New You:-
Action 1: CHOOSE and be done with it - Make a decision (a goal you truly want to achieve, to do what it is that you love, following your mission in life) and don’t look back.
Action 2: ACT on it while putting all your doubts behind you (your doubts are formed from what you’ve experienced in the past. By listening to your past, you allow yourself to become a follower. Break free from it. Be in the moment and you are leading). Take the necessary steps to get closer to your goals.
Action 3: REALISE what you have done and accept responsibility for your actions. Only true leaders take responsibilities for their actions no matter what the outcome. Only true leaders are willing to make mistakes and learn from it - these are lessons that will lead them to their liberty/freedom - their goals.
Action 4: RELEASE - continually release what it is that you see (all negative thoughts, doubts and fear. Being fearful will never lead you to achieving true freedom).
Action 5: START OVER - find relationship with the moment itself. Meeting the moment is an act of purity and clarity. Live in the moment while making plans for the future.
It’s that simple. I can start now! And so can you!! Here’s to a better today and tomorrow:)

I have to say, reading this was very encouraging.
Maybe as encouraging as actually listening to one of the talks.
Thanks Mrs. Micah!
