You are good enough, smart enough, lovely enough, resourceful enough. I promise. I have battled much of my life with feeling “not good enough”. It doesn’t matter why. The feeling was persistent and deep in my bones. It still tries to take over my ambition occasionally. One day, I looked for proof to support this…
Are you the leader or a bystander in your life?
The difference? Leaders understand that they’re in charge of making things happen. If they don’t like something, they change it. Simple as that. As a leader, you understand that you call the shots.
