One of the most expensive things you do that keeps you stagnant
“My boss is blocking my career. I’ll never go anywhere while she’s in the way.”
I hear this a lot. You think you're telling me the facts.
What I hear are your thoughts.
You've given great prominence to other people. They loom large in your life, and consume your attention.
It speaks volumes about who you don't believe you are. Abdicating power + control is costing you. Expending precious mindshare + emotional energy on a perceived villain.
You've abandoned your leadership spot. Instead of relying on yourself, you've created a dependency. Making you feel subordinated + needy. As if you're not enough.
One of the most EXPENSIVE things you can do is PAY ATTENTION to the WRONG people.
Leaders are independent movers + original thinkers. Self-leadership includes knowing how to optimize your time, mindshare + energy for the results you personally desire. Being unapologetic about prioritizing your development conveys authority.
