Betrayal, exhaustion, grief.
Leadership often means being in the position of feeling these emotions and not be able to handle them right away — after all, you can’t let the world crumble.
A household, a business, employees, subordinates, children, a spouse.
All of it depends on you and it weighs on you that you can’t let go for one moment to care for your own wounds.
I won’t listen to your grievances and watch you walk away, going along doing the same thing.
This is not a “feel-good” pill; it’s a mirror.
You will not escape your reflection and, with luck, won’t be able to escape the solution, either. Otherwise, you will never be able to ignore the fact:
you’re just doing it to yourself.
What is the use of a comfortable position and a cushioned bank account if you can’t rest inside your own self?
If you are consistently uncomfortable with yourself and continuously fight with your environment for it, in one way or another?
It always comes out somewhere.
Whether it’s in your actions or your thoughts, the damage to your soul is the same.
You’re a leader, so you can appreciate the power in accomplishing difficult things.
This is your chance do yet another difficult thing: to take your emotional landscape into your hands and increase your quality of inner life.
