Live your truth

Robin Sharma

Oct.16 : I had a conversation with an old friend the other day. He’s done some tremendous things with his business and carved out a meaningful life. He said something that I wanted to share with you. Because it speaks to the best way to influence other people. Leadership by example.

"Robin", he said, "the greatest sermon in life is the one you see". To me that meant, make your life your message. Live your truth. Walk your values. Behave your philosophy. That’s how you move those around you to play at their best.

It’s so easy to talk a great game. Far harder to live it. But the great ones do. Elegantly. Consistently. Passionately. As famed psychologist Abraham Maslow said, "In order for us to become truly happy, that which we can become, we must become".
