Leadership begins within. To tap into true power and become a better leader, it’s essential to develop a strong relationship with your truest self. When you are run by your ego, you cannot reach your full potential. It’s important to seek out daily guidance and advice to strengthen the relationship between you and your inner self.
The Ego Vs True Power
Robin Sharma, author and mentor, encourages people to choose their path wisely each morning.
He believes that a lot of the world’s current challenges are due to leaders being run by their egos instead of listening to the messages from their souls.
According to Sharma, there are two types of power: fake power from the ego and true power from the soul.
Rekindling the Relationship with Your True Self
As children, we had an intimate connection with our true selves but as we got older, life experiences caused us to become insecure and we stopped believing in ourselves.
To build a strong relationship with your bravest, wisest and most loving self, it is important to peel back the layers of pain and insecurity to reach the core of wisdom, creativity, genius and love that lies beneath.
Strengthening Your Inner Self
To unlock this inner power, Sharma suggests seeking out daily advice and guidance.
This could be in the form of a mentor or a podcast, for example.
It is also important to remember who you truly are as every relationship in your life will start to change when you do this.
