Blame, focusing on the problem, and beating yourself up seem to be the automatic responses during the challenges you described. A powerful leader isn't controlled by her or his mind; a powerful leader controls and directs the mind. Finding the lessons, raising above it all, and having the wisdom and discernment to know when to "fold 'em" are only possible if you consciously choose to look at the gold mine. Thanks Mel, Ryan Awesome post Mel,

So many good points. Blame, focusing on the problem, and beating yourself up seem to be the automatic responses during the challenges you described.

A powerful leader isn’t controlled by her or his mind; a powerful leader controls and directs the mind.

Finding the lessons, raising above it all, and having the wisdom and discernment to know when to “fold ‘em” are only possible if you consciously choose to look at the gold mine.

Thanks Mel,
