“To want something is saying that you have a lack of something.”
Instead of saying, "I want to be a leader," or "I want to have this," just be it now. Act as if you are already that person. And that's where you start building that foundation, that mindset, those habits, because leadership starts with leading yourself. It starts with discipline, keeping promises to yourself, and being proactive in your learning. Immerse yourself in the knowledge, in the information, in the habits of the person you aspire to be, and start living it now. Don't wait for some future moment. There's no faking it till you make it. Just be it. And that's a powerful mindset shift for anyone aspiring to be a leader.
Start leading yourself now. Embody the qualities of the leader you aspire to be. Learn continuously, embrace failures, seek mentorship, hone your communication skills, and prioritize self-care. Remember, leadership is a journey, not a destination. You're on the path already; enjoy the process.
