I believe that while each of us can do many things well, there is really only one thing that we can truly master, and ironically, while it takes a lot of effort to become a master in what you do, there is no real effort necessary in the the thing that we can truly master, which is being who we are.

Each of us has a very unique and individual makeup. That makeup , at its core, is perfect, and when we tap into out true core, our real gift to the world is revealed. When you share your true gift with the world, you can be considered a self-master.

For members of the LGBT community, it can be difficult to truly master who we are. We’re constantly under fire from society saying we’re not equal, not good enough, be this, be that.  It takes an extra effort for us to master being truly who we are.

In fact, its not what you do that matters, nor as much as how you do it. Mastery is about knowing who you really are, and how you express that in what you do.

So instead of trying to better yourself to finally be at a place of deservedness, why not relax, and instead look within to find that which you were really seeking?

Self-mastery means living an abundant, fulfilled, and enjoyable life. It means feeling in control without having to control anything or anyone. It means changing your mindset to attract the right people, places, events, and opportunities for you, and using this same mindset to jump all over those opportunities with gusto, and without fear or hesitation. As a master, it means you’re at the cause,  instead of the effect,  of your life.

Self-Mastery means resonating at a high frequency of energy and attracting all we could ever want into our lives….with little or no effort.

And doesn’t this sound like a great way to live?

I attended a meeting last night to participate in a group that is forming to build community for LGBT seniors in the central Massachusetts area. I was truly impressed by the people who showed up, their level of commitment, passion and leadership to the task, and the positive energy that was pervasive in the room.

That got me thinking about the 7 Levels of Energy Leadership and how just a slight shift in our energy levels can propel us in a more positive direction. What kind of energy would have been present in the room if the attendees were not leading this commitment to change? What would have been the outcome? Your level of energy determines your success. The more energy a person has, the more successful they’ll be.  Given the high level of positive energy in the room, I have no doubt we’ll be successful building a great community for our LGBT seniors.

You see, we all lead, either by choice or default. If you don’t think of yourself as a leader, I’d ask you to think again. Leading is the way we help people move into action, ourselves included. The question is not whether or not we are leaders, but how well we lead.

Our leadership ability determines how well we communicate with the people we interact with, whether or not our children do their homework, and how well we negotiate a new car or home purchase. And most importantly, how much energy we can muster to motivate ourselves to take action – sometimes life-altering action – to live our most powerful, productive and purposeful lives.

So how will you lead today?  I know what I will be doing.
