“Do you want to know who you are? Don't ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you." ~ Thomas Jefferson ~
You may say all the right things but it's your actions that determine what people really think of you. If the words you say and the actions you take don't match, action will when out every time. People see actions as more honest than words and as a better representation of their values and beliefs. It takes more effort to do the right thing than to say the right thing. Words will ring hollow and untrue unless there is something to back up what you say.
Think about the behaviors of great leaders that have the same values as yourself - not their characteristics, but what actions do they take? Confirm that their actions and words match, plus support the values they say they possess. Once you find one or two, study them. Emulate them. If you want to be known as a great leader then behave like a great leader.
1. Close your eyes
2. Breathe
3. Empty your mind
4. As thoughts come in, acknowledge and whisk them away
5. Focus on your breathing
6. Think about the affirmation:
I will behave like a great leader.
