What has become clearer to you?
Wisdom Warrior – Know, Shape, Focus & Free Your Mind Dear Alan, I am enjoying your webinars and the practices you bring to the weekly check ins are guiding me along the path of inner wisdom and unfolding the areas of where I need to bring some conscious awareness. I am a leader in my yoga community and I like you feel the deep responsibility that comes with being in this position. I am amazed at how i was thrown into this position and have wondered why I go kicking and screaming into this role over and over again, my whole life I have been placed in leadership roles...to get to the point of all of this. I did take the quiz to see what my five most highest character strengths were. 1. Social Intelligence 2. Capacity to Love and Be loved 3. Fairness equity and justice 4. Gratitude 5. Judgment, critical thinking, Open mindedness To add 6. Leadership! I am curious what your thoughts are on this. What is it that the world sees in me that I am not seeing on myself when it comes to leadership? Please know I am enjoying all that you share with us. Love and Peace - Nicole
