Identity Crisis?
One minute you are enjoying a much-needed break and the next, you are beating yourself up for not creating your new online dream career?
If you do, you are not alone! In fact, there might be many characters inside you, vying for your attention, in any given day – or moment, for that matter.
Here’s why…
According to my wise friends Doug and Cheryl Lester, co-authors of 12 Steps of Self-Leadership: The Difference Makers Guide to Living and Leading on Purpose, we each have a boardroom of characters formed during our lives, that speak up and take charge of self at varying points. The goal is to become aware of each part and transform into your cohesive CEO of Self, Inc. ™ (Note the big S Self!)
That inspired me to spend a little time with some of my characters who pop up every now and then - some more than others - to see what they have to say to me. Luckily, we have a LOT of costumes that our family has collected over the years!
“As you allow the new life that has
been transforming you from the inside out to shape and inform your daily
choices you will discover that the Self-leadership quest has indeed been transformative.
You will realize you do have an increased capacity to make a positive difference in the world.”
Lester, Doug and Lester, Cheryl. 12 Steps of Self-Leadership: The Difference Makers Guide to Living and Leading on Purpose. Victoria, B.C.: FriesenPress, 2016.
