Personal Leadership: Best Kept Secret to L.I.V.E. Your Life to the Fullest

I didn't need a human resource book to improve my career. More so, I didn't need anyone to tell me what I want out of life. Resource books and guides are really great. But at the end of the day, everything boils down to working on achieving what I want.

Personal Leadership

Today I’ll share with you one the secrets to fuller life. Having a strong personal leadership capability can certainly bring all of us farther in life.

What is personal leadership? Personal leadership is having the strong desire and capacity to direct your life towards the direction you intend it to be. This doesn't merely rest on creating plans but more bringing these plans to life. Managing the self takes much courage and commitment in order to gain accomplishments. Proactively taking action to enrich oneself is one of the best ways to extend your leadership to a group or an organization. Personal leadership works on the premise that changes and success starts from within. Assuming full control and responsibility for your life and your future is what personal leadership is all about.

Why is it important? Personal leadership basically allows individuals to bring their lives on a better state. It greatly helps in creating, pursuing and reaching a clearer purpose for your life. Always remember that no one can run your life better than you.

Here are more reasons why learning how to manage yourself is essential:

  • Being able to manage yourself well can be great predictors of success on a personal level and in your career.
  • Developing self knowledge and wisdom are important components of personal growth.
  • Leadership on the individual level can also enhance your effectiveness and productivity in carrying out tasks.
  • Achievements, success and happiness in the long run are some of the fruits of proper self management.
  • Leading yourself well can make a role model and good example for other individuals
  • Have the courage to say “yes” to the life you want to leave
  • Start living a life of purpose
  • Gain the capacity to lead others in different forms of groups and organizations when you are able to lead yourself
Now that you know how personal leadership can change your life, start to truly L.I.V.E. today by following these tips:

Look at yourself thoroughly not only on the inside but your physical self as well. Learn to look after its welfare and further development. Personal leadership is not only about having great principles in life. It is about applying and adhering to these values. Do not expect respect from others when you don’t give it to yourself.

Initiate accountability for actions, words and thoughts. This is one of the best ways to show responsibility and maturity. Manage yourself not only when something wrong has already happened – the real challenge of personal leadership is in learning to discipline oneself.

Volume up your skills, goals and work ethics to continuously grow. Work on making yourself better day by day as you tackle and enhance the different areas of your life.

Escape the victim’s attitude. Thinking that life always live you with no choice is the opposite of accountability. Always know that even if you may not have a say on what happens, you have full control of how you will respond to any circumstances that comes your way. Your reaction will always make the difference.

Let us all be the leaders of our lives. Share this with your family and friends to get them started on the better path as well.
