Chapters of Leadership: Settling | Key Indicators - pt. 1
Increased Awareness Is Increased Capacity
Awareness Increases the Capacity for Acceptance
Every vehicle has those nagging lights on the dashboard. They’re specific in nature and designed to get our attention. Yet, if you are anything like me, you can be tempted to ignore them for fear of what is triggering them to light up. It took me a bit of time…ok, it took me way longer than I care to admit, to realize those lights are not inherently bad – they are actually for my benefit. In my immaturity, I would only see those lights and assume there was something bad associated with it and so avoidance was the modus operandi.
Continuing in our chapter of SETTLING and moving on from the purpose of it. It's critical for us to have awareness when we are in a particular chapter of our story. The indicator light in my car with a tire icon allows me to know there is a tire with low pressure instinctively. The indicator helps me quickly and accurately accept the fact I need to go to the gas station and put air in my tire - becoming well | rooted is no different.
Stay Rooted~
Deeper Roots
How do you deal with those pesky lights on your dashboard?
As you think about the vehicle you drive and the lights on the dashboard, now consider that vehicle is your leadership story. If this is what will take you to become a well-rooted person; what lights on the dash are going off right now in your life?
Considering these lights flashing in this moment of your life, how have you attempted to ignore them?
How have you tried to fix them without success?
What if I told you the story (your vehicle) is the only one you get for your entire life?
How does that motivate you to tend to your story in a different way?
