Inward Facing Leadership

| The Tao Chapter 68 – My Fifth Interpretation|

Being a warrior is not always outward facing; for the sake of personal growth, it is inward facing. Every time you confront yourself, you become better and take on a warrior stance. A warrior in this fashion is a model of strength. A compassionate warrior then, shows great vigor and unselfish care.

Likewise, leadership is not always outward facing. To lead yourself in the steps of betterment is also leadership. The compassionate leader then, takes incremental steps in the path of greatness while demonstrating care for herself and others.

Both purport growth with courage and compassion.

Both are a demonstration of care for self and others.

Both are a demonstration of personal growth.

Both humble their hearts for the benefit of self and their fellow human.

LIVING THE TAO: Do you confront yourself with care? Are you a model of compassion? Do others grow for their betterment as a result of observing you? In what areas do you want to grow as a warrior / leader? Consider the words of today’s Tao inspiration as you reflect on your desired growth.
