Straight-Line Leadership

When it’s their fault you can’t do anything about the situation. But when you come from the stance that says, “I’m responsible,” you can cause what you intend from there. You want to have the power to deal with what’s in your life. Remember, too, that you don’t have to like it. You just have to do it.

“How do you want to use the rest of your life?”

“What’s missing?”

The power that you refuse to use has to go somewhere. That power that you give up by thinking that you can’t do what in reality is quite achievable. That same power that you could utilize to act decisively!

Most people don’t realize how the stances that they are operating from in life or “where they are coming from” impact the quality of life for themselves personally and professionally.

The position you choose to operate from in life has you be who you are. Who you are in life determines how you function in life (the actions you take and don’t take). How you function in life determines the results you get.

So, forget what other people think you should do. Create your own life by creating your own commitments. Then turn these commitments into powerful inner stances. These are now your own must do’s instead of the shoulds that other people put on you. They’ll also replace the shoulds that you’ve put on yourself.
