Being a leader is fun, challenging, and ultimately an honor.
It is fun, because leaders are on the edge of life. They show the way and create new paths.
It's challenging, because you must know where you're going without necessarily knowing how to get it all done. It's on you, nobody else.
It's an honor, because leadership is ultimately service to others. At least the paradigm of leadership I like to live in is like that.
As leaders, it is our responsibility that those around us, which is like a reflection of the whole human race, are empowered to be and live the best version of their lives.
As we grow, others grow. As you gain success in the areas of weight loss and fitness, so does your whole team. As you succeed in business, same thing - everyone eats! Maybe not literally, but if you are growing and maturing and transforming, then the version of you that the people in your life get to experience and feed off of has evolved - and so they evolve too.
It's all beautifully and inexplicably connected.
So, in your quest to be your greatest version, consider that it's more than just your own personal gain and pleasure that is on the line. It is the fulfillment of all your family and friend's dreams as well.
As leaders, it is our responsibility to see everyone happy, fulfilled, and prosperous. That's my definition of leadership.
Powerfully,
Gabriel Santos
