Greetings, Leaders.
Perspective makes a difference! When we see our long list of to-do's and goals, they can be overwhelming.
But, to the leader who walks by faith and not by sight, these to-do's and challenges are "Opportunities and breaking through" to becoming the leader you are and impacting others for good as you go!
"Breaking through" is a mindset a leader takes when looking at challenges and requirements in their pathway to victory.
Thinking in a new way that transforms old behaviors into confident actions is like a sonic boom. Boom! is a sound associated with shock waves created and the ground shaking when an object travels through the air faster than the speed of sound. About 750 miles an hour at sea level.
Here's how we build the momentum needed for a breakthrough.
Remember, Rely and Resolve.
Great leaders exhibit three attributes in achieving the breakthrough.
Someone said, "We fight from victory, not for victory!"
Impact others by encouraging them as you go and modeling the way.
"To perform at their best, leaders enlist others in a common vision by appealing to shared ideals and aspirations." Everyday People, Extraordinary Leadership, James M. Kouzes, and Barry Z. Posner
Encouragement is a multiplier and distinction of great leaders.
All of us are encouragers. Seek to exercise this gift intentionally throughout your day, wherever you are.
Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world but be a new and different person with a fresh newness in all you do and think.
A great leader shared this insight; "We reap what we sow, more than we sow, later than we sow."
We can bring out the best in those we touch on our journey. Publicly acknowledge people, their qualities, and how they are impacting you for good. People gain new strength and confidence and boost their performance.
Empathize, think, and envision the future with your family, friends, colleagues, clients, and all you serve. We will discover our ability to influence people will grow as we practice these steps.
Caring for others is one of the most powerful drivers of personal growth.
We persevere because of the people we will impact and more remarkable outcomes as we go.
Keep a journal of your breakthroughs and impact on others as you go on your journey. Keep your notebook and pen ready to write down your insights. Please share them with others along the way. You can expect, anticipate, and prepare to see breakthroughs in the lives of many!
Victory!
