You are not a leader of ANYTHING or ANYONE not even yourself until you fully embrace this question and start using it in your life DAILY
You are not a leader of ANYTHING or ANYONE not even yourself until you fully embrace this question and start using it in your life DAILY
Ok, that’s a pretty intense heading and the question sounds pretty harsh at first too and most learn it the hard way.
After a bunch of frustration, anger, rage, resentment as well as a load of really crappy things seeming to happen to you over and over again.
Probably the exact same one ☝️
I had someone kick me out of their business with ZERO notice because it was going down a financial hole.
I had someone lie about me in order to take my business costing me 40% of my income over night.
I had someone take me for a ride trying to sell my business costing a tonne of time, stress and about £70,000
There are more, the stress of stayed with me too, colouring how I felt, operated and believed was possible for the future.
Until I started asking myself;
How did I cause this?
From there everything changed.
I went from victim of life to author of life.
When you’re burned in life the automatic lesson is distrust.
That could mean, don’t trust those three people, it could mean don’t trust people in business, it could mean don’t trust anyone.
That’s the wrong lesson though.
It makes you bitter, lonely, stressed and limits your potential.
The right lesson is to recognise that people have their own traumas, triggers, biases, stories, fears, insecurities, beliefs and blind spots.
And that those things will presents themselves as ignorance, incompetence, arrogance, malevolence, laziness, judgment, criticism and a whole lot more that might leave you questioning humanity.
But armed with the question,
How did I cause this?
You have the opportunity to learn from the past, let things go and create ever more skilful decisions today.
That’s not about taking the blame it’s about taking responsibility.
Without it, the world will just eat you up, sending you the EXACT same painful lesson over and over again.
