Leadership and Development Series: Seeing the World Through the Eyes of Heroes
Welcome to the first installment of The Leadership and Development Series.
As we go through the leadership and development series, I will be going through all of the distinct mindsets, principles & habits of successful people, as well as the solid skills you can improve so you can take what you learn here and use it out in the real world.
Leadership and Development Principle: The more we see, the more options are available to us.
Since the beginning, civilization has always been on a constant journey to build up understanding about our surroundings so we can make better decisions, we have even found a way to produce tools so we can understand more of what is available to us, from using hot-air balloons in the Civil War, to satellites used today. As technology has advanced, so has the power to view things from a different, elevated perspective.
Just like when you are fighting with a set of circumstances, just taking a step back and observing the predicament from a different perspective can be enough to help change your thinking to a higher state of mind. It’s difficult to notice a way around a brick wall when it is literally right in front of you. Simply, if it’s possible at the moment, back away from it. Detach yourself from it for a moment and allow your mind rest & come up for air. Just allowing your mind to that time to refresh will allow you to see all kinds of creative possibilities that you were blind to before.
Using this simple leadership and development tactic can also make us really think about what we’re really working to accomplish, and possibly go over if where we’re going is really a place you want to even be. This can be an a-ha moment that can help you correct course or move on to a more worthy goal.
Heroes become heroes when they learn to look at situations from a higher state of thinking. This helps them to find new answers to old problems, and alternative paths instead of dead ends. Do precisely this, and you will find a way to your destination where before there were only dead ends. There multiple paths to your goal. Through creativity, patience and persistence you will find a way to bring your goal into reality.
Leadership and Development Principle: Persistence Can Conquer All
“Never give in. Never. Never. Never. Never.” -Winston Churchill
Make a resolute choice to decline to concede. When you keep going in the face of your obstacles, life has a way of celebrating our resolve by meeting us halfway. New options seem to turn up out of nowhere. Things we never saw before tend to spring to life.
You might get refused 1,009 times, but if you stay unswerving in your vision, your goals & dreams sooner or later someone will say yes to you. and then another, and then another. You can win just by refusing to give in.
You may have a multimillion dollar proposal floating around between your ears, and what will in the end brign that idea into reality is your unmovable determination to see your dream through to the end, and keep working until you get what you want. Sheer determination makes or breaks us.
