"Don't be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth." Rumi
These empowering words by Rumi serve as a gentle reminder that each of us possess a story worth telling, waiting to be written by us.
It's easy to get caught up in the tales of others, in their achievements and their paths to success; or what we believe their paths have been…
But be careful with comparisons, they will turn into your anchor, into the worst enemy of your creative potential.
Don’t let your blind spots fool you thinking you can tackle things you don’t know yet how to frame; yet don’t let fear stop you from venturing into the uncharted territories of your own potential.
How do you unfold your own myth?
Unfolding your own myth begins with self-awareness to look inside, requires self-discovery to understand, needs humility to ask, and demands courage to build.
It will ultimately require a daring leap of faith to take risks and embrace uncertainty.
Turn on your inner compass and trust (partially at least) your intuition to guide you towards your authentic path. Surround yourself with a supportive team, be with the best you can find. Seek out those who uplift your spirit first, challenge your limits after, and genuinely believe in your potential.
This journey needs to lead you to unlock hidden talents, break boundaries, and redefine what is possible, in your own terms.
Unfolding your own myth is an invitation to create your own legacy, to feel the urge to transcend.
Lead yourself, Learn to live. Lead others, Learn to Build.
