Lead with your heart and utilize the power of your mind to figure out the rest.
Leading with your mind and trying to utilize the power of the heart doesn’t work out so well.
Why? Because the heart isn’t one to be utilized.
The heart is who you are; the mind is composed of all the tools that you could ever need to utilize and shape that identity.
Force your mind to build an identity that is in conflict with your heart and the heart will inevitably rebel. Many of us get pigeon-holed into this trap because our minds are so damn loud and constantly connected to the damn loud minds of others.
That is why we must quiet our mind; why we must turn down the noise of what’s “practical” “lucrative” and “respectable;” why we must return to stillness.
Because it’s only there… where we’re quiet and thinking as ourselves—not as others would have us think—that we’re able to truly hear what our heart has to say.
So that from there… we can begin to truly lead.
