So much of what we do as leaders is to create vision, motivate, and inspire others to reach that vision.
We imagine what our organizations will be like when we are successful at meeting our goals, meeting the mission, and realizing the vision. I love John Lennon’s song, Imagine. When I look at lyrics from his famous song, Imagine, I am struck by the simplicity of his statements and the call to action.
Living life in peace is possible in our world, our countries, our communities, our organizations, and our families. Peace begins with us, and feeling peaceful within ourselves. Of course, our internal peace is steeped in self-love.
Feeling peaceful in our workplaces is sometimes challenging, but not impossible. To shift to peace, requires awareness and a commitment to live life in peace. As Gandhi said, “Be the change you want to see in the world.”
Envision who you would be, living and leading your life in peace and hold that vision until it becomes reality.
Yes, it is true…I am a dreamer, but I’m not the only one. I hope someday you’ll join us.
Now I would love to hear from you. What do you want to see change in your organization, community, and world? What are you willing to commit to today to be the change you want to see?
With love,
Maria
