So, what is a true warrior, you may ask?
I'll tell you in a sec...
A few days before Christmas, I took a minute to get lost in a local book store.
I found a nice thick book and, as soon as I opened it, this quote jumped out at me.
"A true warrior is one that is authentically himself at all times."
I don't remember who wrote this, but it echoed within me over and over again.
-
"A true warrior is one that is authentically himself at all times."
This reminded me of the most important lesson I learned this past year:
BE.
I've always been more of a DOER.
I can do stuff 22 hours a day. I can do!
But to BE, that's powerful.
It took practice.
It required courage -- and lots of it.
As we are closing the door of 2009 behind us and opening the great new decade ahead of us, I want you to think about WHO you will BE this year.
Ask yourself, "Who do you have to be to ..."
...be a top MLM leader?
...be a respected contributor to your community?
...achieve all that you want out of life?
You fill in the blank.
What do you want most in 2010?
Who must you BE to have that?
"To be nobody-but-yourself -- in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else -- means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stops fighting." ~E.E.

Being Authentically You All the Time …
one of the hardest things in the world to do … … See More
giving up the need for the validation and good opinion of others so that you can just BE true to yourself and honor the LOVE that fuels your soul…
I see COURAGE all around me…what an honor to know all of these amazing BE-ings !!
No worries Mike the photo through me off for a moment too.….lol. Being as in flowing with the natural Alpha state is only hard because we want to question and analyze things. To just BE can be one of the hardest things to do, but it sure is easier when you mastermind with a great bunch of people.
Great Note Monique!

Playing small isn’t what the world needs.
Having the guts to be who you really are empowers others to be free to do the same.
It’s not important for everyone to like you. What’s important is that you like yourself. … See More
It’s not our weakness that scare us, it’s our power.
Be powerful that’s what the world needs.

I stand up this year to be more my true self than I every have. I may be afraid at times but I will face my fears and overcome. Thank you for being such a good teacher. you inspire me everyday.
Love it Erin! Warriors have overcome MUCH :)
That is awesome!
I myself am becoming a leader first to myself as I am venturing into waters without a life jacket and just going to learn to swim then to others so I can show them how to do it.
I think a great leader looks for someone who has done it already and is successful and then does what they do and if they haven’t found someone to follow they will do it themselves.
I think any leader is someone who has decided to do what ever it takes to do whatever it is that they want and never give up even when they are lost. They will find their way somehow, either around, through, over or under the wall their brain has put in front of them.
Thanks for that quote as it is very powerful!
Yes Rebecca~
“Modeling” is a great thing.
And as my coach would say, “You gotta become a cockroach”. They know how to go over, under, around — they get where they want to go!
