How to grow your leadership skills

View Original

Want to be a leader, lead yourself first

You and I are the highest forms of creation in nature. We can create our environment. Most of us don´t understand the unlimited power that every one of us possesses. The majority of people, together with the animals, adapt to their environment instead of creating it.

Highly effective and successful people know that you become your thoughts. When you think, feel and live your dreams, the things you think about will occure. Like an iron object is drawn to the magnet, your thoughts become your reality. 

If you can hold it in your head, you can keep it in your hand. Whatever you get emotionally involved in is going to materialize in your life.

Go to a car dealer and sit down in your dream car, think that you already own it. Picture yourself driving it on a sunny day with your favorite music on the radio. Your subconscious mind will start believing it is accurate, and your actions will then begin to take you in the direction so that you eventually will be able to afford the car.

On the other hand, if you go to the same car dealer store and look at your dream car and think that you never will be able to afford it, you most probably will be right. 

He who says he can and he who says he can´t is often usually right. -Confucius.

Your thoughts are so powerful that you actually can think yourself sick if you do it for a long time. 

That is the reason why you should fill your mind with the thoughts you want to experience. A wise native American chief once said that you have two wolves in your mind, one good and one that is bad. Someone asked the Chief, who is the strongest, and he answered, -The one you feed the most. 

Never change things by fighting reality. Change something by building a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. 

R Buckminister Fuller 

Focus on happiness, success, possibilities, love, and all the other things you want in your life because what you seek you will find. Where focus goes energy flows. 

There are many effective ways to train your brain and subconscious mind to work in your favor. When you understand that you are in charge of your superpowers, your life will never be the same.

Practice daily the art of positive affirmations.  

I am…statements are very powerful. By saying I am …. followed by the desired statement, you will be able to claim it and eventually internalize it. You have to do this daily, though; otherwise, it won´t work.

You can also put your affirmations up on the wall so that you can see them and remind yourself of them every day. Here are some of my affirmations:

* Every day and in every way, I am getting stronger and stronger.

* I am the leader; I am the voice.

* I love myself

* I am enough

* I grow myself to my potential

* My body is my temple

* I eat healthy food and exercise every day

* I am grateful

* I am happy

* I have executive presence

* I am courageous

* I have excellent adaptability skills

* Money is coming to me from multiple sources.

* I am spontaneous

* I set up clear and measurable goals.

* I am significant

* I contribute to others every day

* I value people and add value to people every day

* I am open-minded

* I am persistent.

* I am in charge of my life.

* I can attract everything into my life.

Create vision boards of what you want. It could be things, emotions, places, food, etc. Put it up on the wall so you can see it every day, and I promise you things will happen for you.
