There are 2 quotes that resonate with the topic we are going to discuss today and they are:

  1. "The most important person to lead is yourself." — John C. Maxwell

It's a call to take control, to be the captain of your own ship, and to create a path towards your dreams. The emotion that wells up within you should be one of empowerment. Which is the realization that your destiny is in your hands, and it's up to you to navigate it with purpose and determination.

  1. "With self-discipline, almost anything is possible." — Theodore Roosevelt

It's a call to do what you know you should do, even when you don't feel like it. Its a strongly believe that you can achieve big things, overcome any challenge, fight through any pain, and win despite all odds. It's motivating you to act, because when you have self-discipline countless possibilities open up before you.

Self-leadership and discipline come down to you being the boss of your own journey. It means doing what's necessary even when you don't feel like it because your big dreams are more important than any fleeting emotions you might have.

If you are looking to be infused with:

  • Confidence

  • Achievement

  • Fulfillment

  • Peace of Mind
