Luke Skywalker wouldn’t have saved a galaxy far, far away without Obi Wan Kenobi. Or Yoda.
Neo wouldn’t have escaped the Matrix (and did whatever the hell he did in the second and third movies) without Morpheus.
Do we really think Katniss and Peeta survive the Hunger Games without Haymitch – flawed as he was – as their guide?
To those you lead, you are a guide. You help them see opportunities they may not see and master abilities they haven’t yet developed.
To them, you are Yoda, or Morpheus, or Gandalf, or Mr. Miyagi.
And before they had you to show them the way, you had your own guide(s) who helped you.
This is your reminder that your role as a guide is incredibly important, as was the work of the one(s) who guided you.
None of us realize our full potential on our own.
OPPORTUNITY FOR ACTION: Reflect on the people who have helped you transcend your limiting beliefs and develop unexpected capabilities…and take a moment to thank them.
