LEADERSHIP is equivalent to INFLUENCE

Food for thought...

Whether you are young or old, a parent or child, a spouse or friend, educator, mentor, CEO, president, supervisor, secretary, colleague, schoolmate, entrepreneur, or just a neighbour...

Whether you live in a penthouse, trailer park, apartment, duplex, townhouse, condo, or on the street…

You, yes, YOU!!! YOU are influencing someone in your life WHICH MEANS you are leading in someone’s life (whether you are wilfully conscious of it and sometimes whether you want it or not).

It may seem hard to think of yourself as a leader. It may be hard to see how far your hands and heart reach. You may be reading this thinking, "Please, I have no influence. There is no one I AM leading."

But let me tell you right now… SOMEONE IS BEING INFLUENCED BY YOU!

They are watching your accomplishments and milestones, your struggles and challenges, how you speak to yourself, how you love yourself, how you love others, and how you allow others to love you.

They watch how you get up after falling down, whether you stay down, jump right back up or take time to gain your balance. Whether you’re elevating yourself or burying your own grave. Developing your mind, body, and spirit or intoxicating it.

DO NOT take this as a burden BUT RATHER see it as a blessing. YOU have the ability to leave a legacy, build a nation, save a life or mind.

SO…Who are YOU leading? Who is FOLLOWING your lead? WHERE are you leading them AND is it safe for both of you?
