It’s all about direction – where you’re looking for what you want. And, how might true power be found to achieve this?
Does leaning into greater participation in your external environment, working harder or smarter do the trick? Maybe. But is it enough? Does it last and can you go back for more?
No matter how often we are guided to an endless source of knowledge and wisdom, we still find ourselves leaning in the exact opposite direction. We typically look for lasting answers somewhere out there – the ‘will to lead’ and to take control over what we want.
Impacting our lives is an inside out motion. It always has been. You can’t as effectively “Lean In” to achieve more in the workplace (Sheryl Sandberg), at home or in relationships if you haven’t figured out how to ‘lean within’ yourself first.
For eons the ancients have told us that to create or change the external effect, we must harness the energy of the internal source. As within, so without. The message hasn’t changed; our understanding of it has deepened. And now scientists are explaining in technical terms how our thoughts and feelings help us fulfill this powerful way of being in the world.
Whoever you choose to be, and whatever you desire to do, most successfully starts at the very beginning.
Lean Within!
