When you step into that discomfort, wait. Past your own feelings... can you hear what they really want? Even faintly? Are they themselves feeling rejected?
All that I needed was given to me, right, front and center. An intuitive assistant, a beautiful car, tons of food, comfy isolated places to stay, amazing people to meet and love, love, and more love. The weekend turned into the most powerful weekend of my life, where I met and spoke to over 200 parents, educators, teenagers and children
I get to see the miracles of play every day. Leaders have doubled their sales because of one team bonding activity and executives have transformed team dynamics because of a simple jokes group they started
When you take care of you, with deep spiritual self care strategies, you can understand and address everyone else's needs around you.
Those who are here for you to guide -- they need you to prioritize you. It is not being selfish to do so. You must put yourself and your needs first.
So you push yourself. You push your kids. You push your teams. With rewards and bribes, nagging or cajoling. With threats and punishments, singling out and comparing. All of this causes stress, disease, and long term mental health challenges.
These great souls are proving: A leader doesn't control, belittle or shame. A leader doesn't sulk, complain, or try to pull people down in order to stay on top. A leader isn't scared of others becoming better. They facilitate the growth and success of everyone around them. And they know when the time has come to recognize the leaders they have created around them.
A parent with inherent boundaries will never need to yell. A teacher with boundaries will not need time outs. A manager with boundaries will not need to nag their employees. All will command respect, because they respect themselves as equally as they respect their teams and dependants.
In twenty years, the eight billion adults on this planet will be these kids. Will they be conscious? compassionate? connected? confident? Or will they be aimless and self-absorbed, struggling only to make ends meet; their purpose hidden, their goals lost, their lives in disharmony.
Because connection is a core need, when you or your dependants are disconnected, tasks become difficult. You may feel overwhelmed by the to-do's; you may have more arguments and defiance in your home; you may want to run away, quit, or not wake up.
You may also be chasing that elusive time. You may feel stretched thin, too much to do and not enough support. You may see your kids struggle with their responsibilities, and you may be drowning in your lists.
"He believes he is worth much, and he receives much. He believes he can handle big, difficult assignments—and he does. Everything he does: the way he handles himself with people, his character, his thoughts, his viewpoints..."
Do you allow reject thoughts about yourself? Do you let others speak reject statements to you? How often do you use reject statements to your children, your spouse, your coworkers? Which ones do you use most frequently?
This year, more than 100 Leadership Parents committed to courses; more than 1000 got the book. They saw their children with social struggles experience happy friendships. They transformed arguments and defiance in the home to high productivity and long talks. They motivated their kids in school and they marveled when their kids ran to spiritual events. It's been pure magic. Deeper, they healed, they dug deep, they found their own purpose in their own Leadership spaces.
"The most important thing learned was empathic communication, how to use words and handle arguments better. "I want to get initiated so I can dedicate my life to Krishna." "I would like to know that Krishna is with me and is my best friend regardless of anything that happens to me."
“Did you know when you speak, there’s a hush across the entire room?” Danika Zoe whispers in Gopi’s ears, as she wraps her arms around her in love.
