He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away. ~Raymond Hull
While it is important to change and grow we must remain authentic to our true selves. Change on the advice and suggestions of others. At the same time, be careful of who's advice you take and why you are changing. You can not lead if you lose yourself in the process. Then, how would you manage your values? How would you teach what is right? How would you inspire if you never showed your true colors? You can't be all things to all people but you can always be you.
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 lead with my true self."
