“People aren’t listening to what you say, they’re watching who you’re being.”

I sat for tea with one of my favourite teachers and when she reminded me of this, I was reminded of the power of intentional LIVING.

I was reminded of what it means to be not only a thought leader but a real life, living, breathing, bold leader that is in action no matter what. Someone who inspires simply by the way they are in all parts of their life.

When you choose who you spend time with, when you choose to listen with every cell of your body, when you choose to eat food that fuels you, when you choose to respond rather than react, when you choose to take and make space, when you choose to show up big, you gain more ownership than ever over what your life feels like.

As we enjoy this long Thanksgiving weekend, take this time to reflect on how you are living. Look at the way you’re being. Be really honest about what your behaviour is doing for you on the inside.

How are you leading yourself first and foremost? How are you leading those around with your actions instead of your words? Let this inspire you to take imperfect action in your life despite what’s stacked against you.

Be with your people this weekend. Enjoy your time. Create space in order to shift your ways of being. 

Happy Sunday,

xx
