The Key to Becoming a Real Leader

Dec. 2, 2011 - PRLog -- What is a leader? That sounds like a question and I am sure that you have heard many different answers too. Here's mine. I believe that everyone has the potential and the capacity to be a leader within them. In order for a person to truly live their life purpose and do what they were sent here to Earth to do, they at some point in their life need to find that leader within them and let it step forth and shine to the world. When I talk about stepping it up in your life this is the exact stuff that I am talking about-stepping forth in your brilliance.

Before the panic button gets pressed by all you introverts out there that believe I am saying that in order to live your life purpose you have to go way out there and do a lot of stuff that is extremely uncomfortable. Wrong. Not what I mean.

There are all types of leaders and all types of ways to lead. Yes, there are the loud powerful ones that are in front of the pack and often make a lot of noise. Love those types and believe we should empower as much as possible to make the right choices. There are also the quiet leaders that lead softly with gentle words and kind gestures that often hit people in the core and make lasting change with little effort. Love those types too and we shouldn't over look them. Then there are the cheerleaders, of course my favorite since that is the type that I am. Cheerleaders believe in others and their capacities and they will see other's potential that sometimes others can't see for themselves. Of course there is the ones who lead by serving and they uplift all they come in contact with. There are leaders that somehow transform everything they come in contact with into beauty and on and on we can go.

Leaders lead. That simple. They let their light shine and sometimes they are really scared and take big steps and they fall or they succeed but they go on doing the things that they know in their core is the right thing that will make this world a better place. Of course there are the bad leaders that get groups to do things that are terrible, but I am not going to waste my time on those leaders unless they are willing to self-examine and transform their ways to be about building others.

Each one of us has a longing a desire to do or be something that will have an impact and make a difference. Those who listen to that longing and start taking steps to make the longing a reality are the leaders. I don't care if you take the steps in a loud fashion or ever so lightly.

Each and every one of us has the ability to look inside and listen to what's next and to take that step. What's your next step? How do you best lead? I'd love to hear from you.
