The Progression of Becoming a Leader
February 21, 2014
The past month since the event in Miami has been
transformational to my life. I look back over the past four months and I can
recognize that in many ways, I’m a different person. Even though I’ve always
been determined to stay active physically and mentally, and I’ve worked hard at
it, I feel that I could have done much better.
About six months ago, my daughter called me and invited me
to log into a daily mastermind session. I always thought of myself as being a
big thinker and interested in positioning myself above the fray, not being
satisfied with the status quo. I couldn’t see that I should spend that much
time required, (1 hour) each day. After much persuasion, I consented to listen
a time or two. The first morning my focus was on the overboard enthusiasm, just
about more than I could handle, a total indication and sign of the negative
mind that I possessed. After forced endurance for a couple weeks, my resistance
began to melt away.
This morning my new outlook and mindset have changed my entire
attitude. Every moment I live is a gift and I seek more and more knowledge. My
attitude has shifted from can’t do to can do I feel a new found freedom that I
haven’t experienced for a long time.
Through the magic of email, my mentor stepped to my side and
offered his assistance in helping me obtain my financial goals. He is such an
example of a great caring leader. His selfless interest in my success has
inspired me to reach down and help someone with their struggles.
Later on my attention was summoned by my pre-set alarm, letting
me know that the time had arrived to check in on my mindset call. The topic of
the day was to become a leader and to help others to become leaders in their
circle of influence.
Still later, my reading material for the day just happened to
be, “how to think like a leader”. Good positive structure is being implemented
into my things to do list, and I’m experiencing progression that I couldn’t
imagine happening this late in my life. I’m happy with the new horizons that
I’m seeing, and the good reasons for getting up early each morning.
I’m sure my horse must have had thoughts that the summer of 2013
would be the last summer that he would have to carry me over the countryside. He
is now getting a somewhat nervous look on his face as he sees the youth being
revived in my old body. I guess I’ll have to give him an extra bucket of oats
to make him feel better about things.
I hope you are experiencing renewed energy in your life as well.
Love,
Taylor Thayne
