First You Lead Yourself! Then You can Lead Others!
This is a 3 stage transformational process. It involves taking a deeper look at your life foundation, rediscovering your innate qualities and capacities and re-evaluating what is important for you when you make choices, pro-actively engaging to create a meaningful life.
STAGE 1: IDENTIFY WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE
Luigi Pirandello (1867-1936), a significant Italian dramatist wrote: “Inevitably, we construct ourselves. Let me explain: I enter this house and immediately I become what I have to become, what I can become: I construct myself. That is, I present myself to you in a form suitable to the relationship I wish to achieve with you. And, of course, you do the same with me” to describe how our need to be likeable and acceptable makes us deliberately inauthentic.
The first stage in this process of transformation entails deciphering your mindset; the sense of identity, vision and goals that come through it.
Our objective has been achieved when you can answer honestly the following question about your life:
Who is in my driver’s seat?
Fear?
Societal expectations?
Collective conditioning?
STAGE 2: UNFOLD WHO YOU REALLY ARE
Eli Wiesel (1928-2016), a Jewish Holocaust survivor wrote: “ The good news is that the moment you decide that what you know is more important than what you have been taught to believe, you will have shifted gears in your quest for abundance. Success comes from within, not from without” .
It is at this moment of inner knowing, when you become pro-active and take personal responsibility for determining your life that the second stage begins. Only then may you find the courage to seek a new, broader perspective that will enable you to feel closer to your own essence; to your inner compass.
THE 2ND STAGE IN THIS PROCESS OF TRANSFORMATION ENTAILS INITIATING A PROCESS OF DEVELOPING A CONSCIOUS AWARENESS THROUGH RE-FOCUSING, INDIVIDUAL STRENGTHENING AND DISCERNING.
Our objective has been accomplished when you:
Re-evaluate what is important to you in your choices, relationships and the goals you prioritise in your future.
Feel that you are your own master and you are able to give form to your life from your own inner strength.
STAGE 3: LIVE MEANINGFULLY YOUR PURPOSE
Steve Jobs (1955-2011), the co-founder and CEO of APPLE said: “ You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life”. He was a living proof of how anchoring the acquired knowledge and wisdom of the past into the present and nurturing it with trust in the potentiality of the future is the way to create a brilliant outcome.
Being aware of who I really am and trusting the flow of life are the key components of this stage. I choose to live life in the awareness of new possibilities that haven’t manifested yet and I choose to act out of joy and a sense of abundance and not of fear and scarcity.
THE 3RD STAGE IN THIS PROCESS OF TRANSFORMATION ENTAILS MANIFESTING YOUR CONSCIOUS INTENTION INTO YOUR LIFE
Our objective has been accomplished when you:
Decide to be your own captain and build strength in your inner-directed personal power.
Set off free of the your past restrictions and open to the brilliant potentialities of your future.
Start creating with confidence.
