Another approach to the mind relaxes

Life is a "power of thought" that "think" like a soul / self and you are a physical body (the centers of the heart and the brain and intelligence) is a form of life energy and therefore as inherent to the company. Live from a place of wholeness has nothing to do with the "end of thought", but the repeal of the illusory form, faulty thinking or asymmetric. Any practice to try is to bring their thoughts to silence one of the misguided practices that can take you never to get to a place of wholeness - try to get your mind to silence, it is only an act of repression they may give temporary relief, like a drug, but also the resolution of conflicts / problems that can be dealt with in your life. People have spent years bringing his "thoughts" by force of will to silence, and all that they do observe is (temporarily) a state of dull false peace, which has a very natural for him, and requires a maintain constant effort - the practices are forms of "discipline" against nature itself and do nothing to mid freedom, creativity, focus and conscious life. The problem is not with the "thinking" that the problem in the approach that we developed is for the mind, this is only part of the formation of the air / we get a company primarily based combat system.
There are two ways you can think of as

A. Relaxed awareness (or relaxed-thoughts)

Second Focused Mind

Very few of us are aware of how aligned "relaxed awareness", and therefore we do not realize the immense potential of this approach for new solutions and solve internal conflicts., Most have "focused thought" their origin in, and in many cases we have to focus on the negative rather than solutions, and therefore end up creating a dynamic negativity allow us (which eventually gives way to a physical reality), while based in the resistance to a balanced solution / implementation. Concentrated thought is to "create" a powerful way to solutions, but only if your focus is on solutions. It is important that the "right way" to use the potential of concentrated thinking, living and conscious understanding. In my opinion, if you expand the relaxivity of thought, it is very difficult, the right mindset focused align - you people are still trying to see focus on positive thoughts and end up living in fear of problems, conflicts and challenges.
Since the ability to relax is a necessary condition for the possibility of harnessing the potential of concentrated thought, I will discuss the mechanics of the mind relaxes first, and deals with the mechanics of the "right way" to the use of concentrated thinking.

The goal of relaxed awareness

"Conscience relaxed" is just a term I coined because it involved a detailed description of the condition of openness when are aligned with that in mind - it can also serve as "think relaxed." Relaxed awareness is part of the ability to be "allowed", which comes in the form of thoughts and emotions without suppressing try and not to try to impose a solution. You can try it now, just stop for a moment to think of an "effort" to reflect and let happen. The pointer is - not "try" to think, do not try to solve something, do not try to find solutions that do not try to get rid of what's happening, just "be." I hope you understand that I'm not asking you to "trance out" in a passive state, I beg you not to "FOCUS" to anything, it's just "being" protected without conscious thought and without a thought. There is no such thing as "passive", which is just another escape mechanism, and there is no such thing as "fear-based approach" which is another protective mechanism. Relaxed thought, it is an escape mechanism to make some "rock" dazed state, it is not about the approach, but actively "be" without trying to strive in order to try to "be".
You may not be able to communicate pointer'm to come here, and that's because you will probably try around the neck to relax the mind to understand their educational someone trying to "fight" in any case try to separate somehow - they are two ends of the same thing, based on the fear of life. Even if I give the mouse pointer "Just Be" can be interpreted to be "tried" than to sit back and simply, and to continue efforts in "his" to do, and because all can not be your energy is focused on this effort to be relaxed and therefore can not "afford" what comes to mind. Apart from the effort, without a state of being "passive" - ​​is a compromise. Here are some tips to know when you are relaxed and thinking the right way.

- You must not try to escape, to suppress or deny any thoughts that arise

- You do not "try" to think, but to think you can pass, no way you want to happen

- They are open to all the feelings that arise in you, including raw feelings of fear, anxiety or irritation

- You are not distracted in any way by an external stimulus (This is useful when you are relaxed, thinking with closed eyes, for the first time)

- You're not trying to be "passive" and separated. I can not enter as a pointer, it is up to you to be honest with yourself, if you, as a way of dormant sense of peace as an escape or "spiritual idea" go try passive.
- Do not try to be aware, or to try to see thoughts rigid when your consciousness is directed to a thought or feeling, you could, and if you drop a thought or feeling helps, too - Try n not you, to control what their conscience based.
- You're not trying to relax or feel good, do not do not worry, you're not trying to feel something "extraordinary" state.
The tendency of the mind is "repetitive" any thought that feels like a concern, problem or challenge imaginable. The mind several times about their true desires, preferences and interests (- the thought of the heart, the brain, that is, if I "mind" say everything including I) think. The fact that the mind is a tendency to repeat what he feels is "important" for him has said that the state of "relaxed thinking" not a state of denial - if something is important for the mind, the thought is repeated , unless a solution is found, or if it loses its meaning, understanding or perspective. not, therefore, in "denial" in connection with worry thinking relaxed - if you are not trying to be passive and aloof, the relaxed state of mind will never be a state of denial.

The reason for the relaxed state of mind includes solutions (or brings wisdom) That's because in this state, "" We do not try thinking of the past, air conditioning, which can roots imbalances or delusions, but allow you the intelligence of the to help life, a solution / balance the thoughts of his mind. It is conditioned with an intelligence far beyond the mechanics of intelligence thought to be connected. In many cases, if you are relaxed with the mind, you can see for yourself, be automatically connected to solutions implemented (eg not feel inspired, something on google ultimately to find a particular solution). Other advantages are mentioned below as relaxation

- Develop will (stop and develop the ability to "respond" to the idea of ​​your mind) a sense of inner strength from the "removal" of thought in his mind released. The more relaxed-connect with your mind from feeling more bastion of thought impulse of the mind is open.
- How do you practice relaxed mind thinks that the movement to reduce and eventually reach levels balanced when there is a strong impetus for you before further. The dynamics reduces not only because your mind is to find solutions and expertise, but also because you are not feeding the pulses. By the narrow focus
- You can reach prospects that are rooted in the wisdom and integrity, and he is not on the perspective of a single stick.
- After emotional enrichment begins to be released in conjunction with the mind relaxes, it is because they are not removed, the emotional release comes naturally, and you (as) and are not new emotions by identifying unconscious patterns of thinking about.

- You deserve inner stability to every challenge as he begins the trust in the intelligence of life to find the offer solutions to these kind of being "without resistance."
- You feel more in tune with your intuition and wisdom

Relaxed Think like a whole new area for you feel. It is how to develop a new habit, and it will take some time before you start getting used to it, and begin to see the potential / power solutions. For a while, you'll just have to work to agree with the natural state of relaxation of the mind. Do not be too impatient, do not try to "do things" - these two attitudes is difficult to really connect with the relaxed openness to think.
With focused thinking the right way

"The idea," focuses on is, if you think, consciously or unconsciously some thoughts / object, feeding their attention and interest. The first step in the use of concentrated thinking, rightly, be aware. Relaxed during training, think that every note you do not have the pulse of the unconscious thought patterns solve the usual models / common thought. they were a "unconscious attention" focused before before you actually start with conscious thought -. the only way to get the momentum will liberate increasingly relax in the mind (relaxed awareness) At a time when momentum has rooted his unconscious thought patterns published, you can relax your mind and focus, think about balance, two ways of thinking are necessary for optimal living conditions.
I repeat that it is very important to find a stable "relaxed-thoughts," looking before you can think properly focused. He relaxed thinking that freed the last moment of negativity in your head so that it. For a new approach For example, you can rooted in a form of struggle have on the basis of the mind and soul can be a great boost to this idea through years of careful unconscious, and in this state, when you try to find your focus on a change in view on wealth base you a lot of resistance comes from the mind (their last album). When connected with the idea of ​​relaxing, you can lose your mind on the drive to enable away, so that his mind. More resistance to your conscious attention
If you are the last minutes of his mind to solve (relaxed awareness), you can begin to deliberately focusing the mind. Here are some tips on how best the vision align with centered approach based solutions.
- Not to focus on the debt base idea is useless

- Do not "negative" to the perceived focus in a situation that can only be seen and focus on the growth rate of the state willing to provide you. Always focus on thinking in terms of growth / maturity. Introspection is a powerful way to focus on the future.

- Do not stay focused on the problem. If you have a problem, you need to know to look once it's there, nothing is served by the constant obsession about him. If you see a problem, you can see his opinion on a "solution necessary" (a reality that does not have this problem) to formulate. Change your approach to this "solution necessary", and keep your mind focused in this direction.

- Use your specific vision, the reality that you see, and you get an idea of ​​the nature of light and darkness involved in this reality - the reality of life is that every situation has a clear and dark character. For example, to bring a romantic relationship experiences, but also a lot of time and energy. If it easier with the nature of light and the darkness of a desired reality occur aligned, because they show a maturity to cope.

- Use to focus not only concentrate the mind on the nature of the light of reality, such an approach seems to be "positive thinking", to when in fact it is only fools think, because it is also based on reality and therefore resistance physical reality manifest your desire. This approach can also be avoided, that the resistance you can have the true reality of his desire.

- Downtown thoughts in equilibrium with the relaxed mind is optimal for better solutions and resolve internal conflicts / resistance.
The center is thought to be part of a "conscious creator", where you decide what. Reality that we want Problem is that if a person on the life of mistaken he / she tends to think a person's delusional and such insights can concentrate focus exclusively on the image unrealistic or incorrect to use the reality - that we are only one way of life has become a kind of denial or ignorance is why it is. important to have a connection with relaxed awareness that allows you to overcome the clutches of the dynamic imbalance of mind while developing a better understanding of reality allows first -. the more you understand the reality of life oriented his thinking being For example, if you find that all the realities of life, have a light and dark character, their way of thinking and not illusory, but begins to correspond to reality.

?Self Improvement - King way or a dead end

?Self Improvement - King way or a dead end

A common approach to life in our time is that of self-improvement. Self-improvement can be the body which, is very common, especially for women. See what a huge marketing have different diets, see the advertising market form the figure of a woman.

The same trend of improvement of the body also tends to healthy foods: dietary supplements, organic food, vegetarianism, vegan ism should prolong life and improve its quality and health. Nothing is guaranteed that they will, but the market flourished.

Improved market is booming body mirror - plastic surgery, enlargements, print anything you want is possible today. And, the foreign exchange market, marked by makeup and perfume new fashions every year, promises to improve the appearance according to the latest fashion and to upgrade.

A person can walk these path's life diet diet iPhone 3 iPhone Fashion 10 and he remains a foreigner, had to use sleeping pills at night and run to the TV or Facebook and iPhone when I could.

Even if he had convinced he was progressing and improving, then it's just brainwashing opinion makers ducked.

Improving labor market is very common, but use a different word to describe it: efficiency, maximize profits, increase productivity, and more. Current workers say the least never become more peaceful and happy, as a result of such actions. In contrast to the capital as soon as hearts filled with empty pockets.

Also in the spirit of improvement is very common. Particularly between positive thinking and coaching. Today you can find a coach to improve any personality trait is not satisfactory as a computer program will help the client to remove one leg and place the foot in the building. Whether the teams best what is good for humans too? In the distant past, I took a course who's crowning glory positive thinking was the law "every day in every way I am getting better and better", I repeated this phrase before bedtime, and I felt improvement in my life, but it was an improvement areas and uprooted.

Finally I realized that improvement is a dead end. It has rotten roots. Because if I think I have to improve necessarily believe in something before I go wrong, and root rot. Even if the change would improve symptoms and in some cases is only going to perpetuate and strengthen the foundation of faith itself. The attitude that something is wrong with me rotten roots and nothing good can come of it. All efforts are aimed at improving at least not cancel this premise, it is accepted as truth unconsciously.

Let's look at the nature is a tree needs to be improved? That's perfect. A flower has? He is so handsome if a child needs? Do not even think in those terms. His mind is still pure and fresh. Idea of ​​the improvement is the virus, once recognition was planted only bad can come of it. There is nothing better. Nothing natural as peace, peace, harmony, happiness, joy cannot be derived from it. The improvement is artificial and ugly phenomenon as a result of self-misunderstanding. Self Improvement leaves us poor.

There is an interesting paradox, just after releasing a virus to improve, and beautiful relaxing and peaceful changes begin to occur spontaneously, without any effort on my part. These changes can also be read as an improvement, but come without any effort of will or intention on my part. They come because I connect to that place from which derive all the good things and are now reflected more clearly in my life.

Learning is nice, understanding binge diet really fills the mind is good, enjoy the wonders of modern technology beautiful, but when the desire to improve every activity in our lives a dark cloud hanging over, this is the place to stop and understand:

One person can make a hard effort and discipline to carve changes in body or mind, but only these superficial changes. And, human vision that is never satisfied and always looking to improve what else. Improved virus spreading and never stops, leaving the person exhausted unhappy restless and always look out for.

Our fundamental internal layer, which requires no improvement have been incomplete. 'S the most beautiful thing I remembered.

This interior space and to be fair, there is nothing better, nothing to look, no specific targets, no specific problems are so low in robotic and soulless. Always lie, promise and never have.

So what I am creating. This incredible positive root will change that spontaneously, without inspiration, these are the seeds of happiness, never any produce pathological enhancement software.

Look inside yourself, not who you think yourself. Soon you will see that nothing is missing. Unable to sell the illusion of self-improvement .

The Power of Positive Living



Features and local educator Andy Anderson, 84, lives in a simple motto: "I hope before the end of inspiration." And after the 10 years he spent teaching in primary schools and 20 years, who worked in adult education as a professor of positive psychology, he did a very thorough job. In fact, Anderson has a career after retirement for ways to help others live a happier and more are healthy.

"I think we should take every opportunity to make things better for us and for all," Anderson said. "I feel myself called upon to lift the spirits of the people and to encourage them to have a positive attitude to life."

Anderson recently mobilization project is a series of videos in three parts complaint is the result of his early work as a Lead Facilitator for the Virtues Project "The Power of Positive Living." - A program founded by Linda Kavelin Popov, Dr. Dan Popov and John Kavelin - and presenters who appear in the video, are all former students of the virtues Anderson.

After www.virtuesproject.com, the project is "a comprehensive approach to inspire the practice of virtues in everyday life." It aims to help provide a "revolution of kindness, justice and integrity" and workshops to inculcate values ​​such as love, goodness, justice and service.

The project focuses on video
Announcement
these issues related to the improvement of physical and mental health through daily exercises. Anderson sees the videos as part of the tradition of service.

"My hope is that seeing them, people can a new willingness to find the responsibility for their lives and their circumstances. 'M really into the idea that you have to exert your will to improve things, not just sit and wait. You can exercise their free will to make life better in every respect, "he said.

The first part is called "Mind Healer, Mind Slayer, how does the mind" and includes an interview with Anderson, series and Darline Denudt Moderator Donna Thompson, a licensed in the center of spiritual life.

"Since I was a small child was healthy is very important for me, in general, and worth more than that," Thompson said in the video. "I am attracted to a life of service because I need to feel that it was worth it. This need was obvious that I'm often sick as a child and get the idea that I was not good enough and not worth much as a child healthy. So that was my first "trick of the mind," as Andy. "

Thompson comes to the "mental traps" that negative thought patterns that describe reinforced by repetition. "For many of us it's childhood memories or memories of pain in the past, that trigger a response, and the pain us more," says Thompson. "Memories of criticism or review (born), and we begin to see ourselves as broken. Sometimes even unconsciously sabotage us."

The way out of this vicious cycle, according to Thompson, is to realize that negative thoughts and feelings can be overcome by positive thinking and affirmations of love and gratitude can.

"(Spiritual activist and author) Marianne Williamson says that the spiritual journey is the unlearning of fear or resignation and the acceptance of love back in our hearts. Love is our ultimate reality and our goal on earth. To the love of ourselves and to experience other, is the meaning of life, "says Thompson. "The truth is that at the deepest level, the unconditional support, even if we do not know. If nothing and gave us everything we think we do not have enough, the universe offers us an unlimited amount of them. Protection and security, we seek is within us. "

Thompson will give tips on how to use the power of the mind to work for us and not against us, and it is clear that the people to love yourself, before you can begin to love others.

"We must love, no matter what happens, I think is worth loving, alignment of a love that is not dependent on the success or approval and love as much as possible, whenever possible .... Especially deserve not only our to love ourselves, we can not live without him, "Thompson said." We need to be friendly with ourselves, compassion, and accept that we are not to judge or to leave. start we must, for us, no matter what . the second part is that gratitude is the fastest way to love. A closed heart can be dangerous for your health. "

The second part of the series:. "As our body" with tips for the year Pete Shepard, professor of physical education and a master's degree from Humboldt State University Shepard different exercises shows suitable for nearly all the world - even in wheelchairs or with other serious illnesses - despite that viewers care, a doctor before you consult an exercise program.

"When I did that, I thought," Man, this is so basic, everyone probably already knows, "but no one knows these things when they said about it:" Shepard said in a telephone interview.

"In fact, with all these myths about aging and stuff, everything you can think of to improve your fitness. You can improve. Not a departure .... We can all improve through exercise only the formation of the heart, "balance and breathing properly, he said in the video.

Shepard emphasizes the importance of exercise with a friend, to provide motivation and support, and provides a quick and easy ways to measure heart rate and a safe level of activity, determined to develop strength and endurance.

"One of the exercises that I recommend is to walk. If you take a walk with a friend who is probably the best thing you can do for you .... Sometimes everything available to be improved when n is that for a walk, "said." We seem to be in pain, no matter what. Always get, and you know what, you do not go there if you sit there. If you want to feel better, I have to do something .... If we do not feel anything, II better. "

On the question of what is "best practice" Shepard replied with a smile: "That's good."

In the third part, "The mind-body connection," Susan Wilson, a certified hypnotherapist and a master's degree in psychophysiology ASU, stresses the importance of taking responsibility for their own health.

"The disease should not be the scenario if you take responsibility for your life. Attitude is the most important in this regard," she said. "We need to take responsibility for our own health. Wait until you are very sick and then expect doctors all do not resolve with prescription drugs and painkillers. Physicians in the practice of treating a patient as" downstream "known how do we prevent "up" to disease or infirmity, is a minimum in the first place, and I hope to keep other medications. "

Wilson talks about the importance of preventive medicine in the form of good nutrition and dietary supplements, and draws a clear parallel between the mental and physical health.

"As far as we physically, what you eat, they are also practical, what he thinks and what he thinks of himself," she said. "Some say that happiness is a choice. You can choose to be happy or you can wallow in negativity attached to this belief is justified with a litany of complaints .... Attitudes and can be changed."

To his advice to cultivate a to participate in stimulating discussions, play games, solve puzzles, and reading.

"Another tool that I use to guide my clients to let go of the past and none of the old injustices that still have the power to make you feel bad. This is not to say that what happened was right, it is very likely that he - there are a lot of parents have really terrible there - but if you can get to a place of neutrality about it let it go, then you have the power to deprive hurt more, "Wilson said." They know, it's true that the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Both love and hate involve a strong emotional bond, but when you release the mouse button, you are free to all who had the power over you all these years ....

"I especially like the feeling of a quote from Mother Teresa, when she said:" We must recognize that we all belong to each other "We all belong to each other .. The internalization of this concept led to feel less alienated in life, less alone . They are far less critical of others. You see them just as people in their own way in life, whatever. not you also want to cross your path, there is no reason for trying ....

"Therefore, do everything together," Wilson said, "Take care of your diet and nutritional supplements, including the consumption of water per day. Benefit of physical activity on strength, balance, to maintain mobility and independence. Develop a positive attitude towards self-help, others and life in general. Be adventurous. find new things to enjoy. Keep your mind active and try to be a lifelong learner. Unleash the past and start living in the present. Y when someone asks your age, I tell them how old you are young. Did these things, and you enrich your life at any age. "


The rise of the Game: A Manifesto for the movement of your organization forward



Before you start a game, people want to know what the rules are. This is so that everyone knows how they participate is what. The object, and it is a competition, how to win Last week I was playing a game with a team, and at the beginning everyone was asking for clarification of the rules. At this point, everyone thinks: Everybody struggling to find their place and begins, slowly at first, then more relevant to their decision that the game has progressed, "How can I play.". it's easier in the fact that more and more people have the game, the more confidence you have, the more chances they have played, and the far left.

I work with companies on culture change, leadership and commitment of the project staff. My approach is a little unorthodox, but it will play on the movement and But that makes no sense, when we talk about the game business and how to play. I am interested in how the game is changing the way we work together. As a child, we learn, and adults can play a big impact on how we build relationships, communicate, develop ideas, solve problems and strategies as well as to have.

Influence
The more games we play, the more we realize that there is. Different types of games There are games with ...
Direct rules - and there are tasks given to play a good and a bad way.
Implicit rules - suggestions are made, taking into account the starting points. It is expected that will happen, and through a sequence of moves.
Choice - the availability of resources, a framework is presented. Players can decide how and when they participate.
Free - space is a space. Anything is possible. The player can choose when to know how and by whom and what does not and why.

In a growing economy, structures and systems affect the way how to connect people to participate and contribute. An influence on how people choose to play the game. What was really interesting games were played last week, how people are treated with different rules.

"I felt as if I had no control, it was frustrating"
"If I have ideas, I have not been able to put it into practice"
"I knew what I go so that I"
"It was just, I needed more of a challenge"
"We all came together, it was chaos, but it was fun and it worked"

The best games for me to play more freely. Framework exists, but everyone still has to play the game in their own way, to obtain.

The increase of the game
Caught can be in your business to increase, you have to play the game you want. Manifestos are a powerful way for your company to provide the framework in which we all play while autonomy is necessary for all have to move forward together.

A manifesto is a public declaration of intentions and views for all in motion and action. Play a game of decisions. The rules determine how those decisions are made. Clear guidance on how decisions are made in your business. Such a great game that has a manifesto to the heart beat and everyone wants to jump on this train and the adventure.

Starting points for you to play
Before writing his manifesto, collecting ideas and information, which can help to develop a show that is a true reflection of your company and the people who work there.

What inspires society?
What is your mission?
What is the way we do things now frustrated in your industry?
What matters most to your business?
Which is much less?
What makes you different?
Who are the people who can add value and make a difference?
What is your call to action?

Write Manifesto
There is no right or wrong is what. For your team and your business Be creative and inspired is what counts. However, we have found that these things help:

Intentional, and explain their opinions as facts
It should be short one side, points 4-6 and simple language
Published, and equities. It must be true, and can be changed anytime
Do not forget to play!

leadership and management : working relationships


We are all in social situations or networking events, or even on airplanes, and people ask, "So, tell me about you." Most of us react to this question in the same way - we tags or hooks are.

For me it would be the following: I am a husband and father of two children. I own a business and have for 19 years. I'm a speaker. I am a writer. I blog. I exercise a lot. I train and advise on leadership. (I could go on, but you get the idea.) You can, and probably do the same thing. But these labels on us?

Want to know more about who I am, if I told you that I? Grew up on a farm, and these experiences have a profound sense of growth and opportunity Want to know more about me, if I told you that I have a work ethic to the non-agricultural Midwest and commitment to the family have? I grew up in an entrepreneurial family and went to church on Sunday morning? When the story of how I chose knew Purdue University to attend for college, you will learn many things about me. If I know why I voted in the group for two years did (in part because the football tickets and the opportunity to go to other states and the Indy 500), you should know more about who I am. And if I told you why I am in the middle of the country (after living in California) back chose would say something that I am.

As in the first list could go on, but I think my point is made.

What we do, what we are.

Too often, leaders want, expect or hope, or that the people we know and have a strong relationship with us as their leader, but we really want to know. In fact, as an example, we can not do anyway.

But as a leader, there are some important things to remember.

As a leader / manager / supervisor are among the most important people in their lives. His influence is real. In his view, they have a big impact on your life, happiness, and even content.
Society, especially among the older generation do not really feel that you know about their leaders clearly. After all, you're "one of them".
This barrier, assumed or actual can certainly get in the way of relationships that are built.

These are the realities in which we live and work. And if we want to be highly effective leaders, we must work together to build a close relationship with us - in spite of these realities.

To achieve this, we need to not only overcome these obstacles, but our personal perception. . .

I do not want "friends" at work have.
Have "friends" at work too complicated - I work around or avoid.
I want to be a private person.

For these points, I would say two things - the goal of the leader is not to be to find friends, but it must be maintained through close relationships, and in terms of a private man, get over it.

I'm not saying you can not intimate parts of your life, but I say that if we carry the highest levels, we must be prepared in the past, labels and share with the people who really get.

I know that this may be unnecessary or too intimidating (or even fear). If this is the case, the better.

One of the reasons why you might be intimidating, is that you are not sure your answer to the question "Who am I?" Self again.

So take a little time to understand that. You think. Kept close about your values ​​and what to expect Once you are clear on what you are willing to share and you want to take action. Help people to know who you really are. And remember that people want leaders that real, not perfect. When parties about who you are, because you feel like a leader must keep, remember that it is not possible and not what the people want a leader queue anyway "perfect".

People want with them, even (perhaps especially) connect with their leader. To give them this opportunity, you must be willing to share more about who you are with other people.

While this may put your comfort zone to be placed a little on the way to better relations and more effective leadership.

Fort principle: What you do not, what you are. To be a leader requires knowing considerable self-awareness and self-realization of who you really are - and the desire to share with others.
