Conscious Leadership

Conscious leaders Unconscious leaders

Joy comes from inside (fertilizer & spring water) Constantly seek happiness

BE more & DO less (focused energy) DO more & BE less (unfocused energy)

RESPOND to challenges through bifocal lenses REACT to challenges through emotions from ego

- Goals align with life purpose - Happiness is not a goal = Happiness is the way

to the goal of inner joy

Goal setting – achieve – “I am happy” – start new goal – cycle repeat = conditional happiness

The question IS NOT what I need to do to be happy?The question = WHY am I not happy? WHAT are the bars in my life preventing me from being happy?

- Observe the pains - Is this my business? - Understand the power of MIRRORS/PROJECTION - If you want to do something about it, get out of your arm chair and do something about it – don’t

waste your energy on wasteful thinking

Question – Why is it that happiness is so important in all we do but we are so frequently unhappy?1. Our outside reality is constantly changing & we are not in control of life2. We think our happiness must come from outside & not from within3. Confuse joy with happiness4. Overachievers to feel worthy of success / abundance / recognition / self-worth (story time)
