SEVEN VIRTUES OF A TRUE LIONHEART

LEADERSHIP- Contrary to popular belief, leadership is not about controlling or micromanaging others. It is about empowering individuals to reach their full potential. A good leader recognises the strengths and weaknesses of their team members and allows them to take on tasks that align with their skills. By doing this, the leader not only helps team members develop but also creates a sense of trust and collaboration within the team. This empowerment leads to an engaged group, ultimately resulting in higher productivity for the organisation. Creates a sense of purpose. By leaving a positive impact on others, and contributing to a better and more successful future for all. By being in a leadership position, we can think outside the box and consider different perspectives. The ability to see things from different angles and make sound decisions is a valuable skill that can be applied in all aspects of life. Responsible for conveying information, setting standards, and providing feedback to and from the team.

CONFIDENCE- Having confidence means trusting oneself with abilities. It is the belief that we are capable of achieving anything we set our minds. Confidence is not innate; it is something that can be developed and strengthened over time through practice. It can help us take risks, try new things, and push ourselves just out of our comfort zones. Confidence can also help individuals handle criticism healthily. However, when lacking can have a significant impact on an individual’s life. Low confidence can lead to self-doubt, and fear of failure. It can also cause individuals to compare themselves to others and feel inadequate, leading to a negative self-image. Feelings of worthlessness and a need for validation. Essential to realise that confidence is not a fixed trait. It can fluctuate and change depending on various factors, such as experiences and external distractions. One way to boost confidence is to set achievable goals and celebrate small successes along the way.  Let’s tell ourselves that we are enough and not let anyone rob us of that and never forget how far we have come. Surrounding oneself with encouraging people can also help boost our relationships. Very important not to be overconfident, this can lead to taking on things that may be out of our limits. Finding structure and creating a healthy balance requires a tolerance level that doesn’t necessarily lead to burnout, a blow to one’s self-esteem and disinterest in activities and hobbies.

ASSERTIVENESS— Before we dive into the power of assertiveness. Assertiveness is the ability to express ourselves in a direct, honest, and respectful way, while also considering the needs and feelings of others. Assertiveness has numerous benefits, both in personal and professional settings. It also allows us to set boundaries and say no. Better decision-making and increased productivity… On the other hand, not being assertive can have negative consequences. When we constantly avoid conflict and play nice, we may end up feeling resentful, frustrated, and even taken advantage of.

STRENGTH– The famous saying “tough times don’t last, but tough people do” highlights the importance of strength. By adopting a growth mindset, we can continuously strengthen our mental fortitude. Through rational thinking and taking responsibility, we can regain most of the control in our lives. It’s important to remember that we can strive to improve ourselves by 1% each day. With the reduction of excuses, procrastination. Lessening procrastination and finding solutions to our problems. It’s also crucial to not be afraid to ask questions and vouch for some quality help, as true strength lies in acknowledging our flaws and enjoying the journey of rebuilding ourselves. While most people associate strength with physical training and its benefits such as improved health and performance, many are unaware of its impact on our cognitive function and memory. This is because physical activity releases endorphins, which are known as “feel-good” hormones that can boost our mood, reduce stress, and enhance mental clarity. When combined with a growth mindset and an abundance perspective, instead of a victim and fixed mindset, we can gradually cultivate a stronger frame of reality. Imagine three years if you kept the study going.

COMPASSION  Have we ever experienced a moment where someone showed us genuine care and it made all the difference in the world? Maybe it was a friend who listened without judgment, a stranger who offered a helping hand, or even a kind word from a loved one. In those moments, we may have felt a sense of. But did we know that compassion not only benefits the person receiving it but also the one giving it? Self-compassion is treating ourselves with the same care that we would offer to a loved one. By practising these techniques, we can build momentum and reduce negative self-hate.  Encompasses qualities such as honesty, reliability, and a sense of loyalty. It also involves taking ownership of one’s actions, being able to acknowledge and apologise for who we may have hurt, and striving to act according to noble principles even if things in return aren’t given back. Simple acts of love will never seize to brighten a day.

COURAGE– There are various forms of courage, each with its distinct characteristics. Physical courage involves confronting physical danger or pain, as mentioned earlier. Moral courage is the ability to stand up for what is right, even when faced with opposition or potential consequences. Emotional courage is the capacity to confront and express our emotions, even in challenging or vulnerable situations. And then there is everyday courage, which encompasses small acts every day. Courage is a vital attribute that helps us navigate obstacles and uncertainties. The good news is that virtue is not limited to the brave and heroic; it is a quality that can be cultivated and developed within anyone. This can be achieved by getting in the ring fighting and speaking up in meetings. Additionally, watching inspiring individuals can give us the push we need to step onto life’s stage and embrace the excitement of the unknown. The thrill and anticipation of the quest ahead of us.

THE STORY OF DAVID AND GOLIATH- The story of David and Goliath takes place during a time of war between the Israelites and the Philistines. The Philistines had a secret weapon, a giant warrior named Goliath. Who was over nine feet tall and heavily armoured. On the other hand, the Israelites were a small and weak army, with no one brave enough to face Goliath. This is where David comes in. He was a young shepherd boy, not a trained warrior, and not someone you would expect to take on a giant. But he was determined to defend his people, and against all odds, he stepped up to the challenge. When David volunteered to fight Goliath, he was met with disbelief and ridicule from his people. But David had something that the others didn’t – faith and belief. He had a strong belief in his abilities and the power of God. This unwavering faith gave him the fearlessness to face Goliath, even though he was just a small boy with a slingshot. This teaches us that no matter how impossible a situation may seem, always remember there is a higher power that also gives us the power and passion to rise and bounce back. Before facing Goliath, David had honed his skills as a shepherd, protecting his flock from predators. This preparation may have seemed insignificant at the time, but it ultimately played a crucial role in his victory over Goliath. This teaches us the importance of being prepared for any situation, even if it may not seem relevant at the time. You never know when the timing is right to step up. May come in handy. He didn’t rely on brute force or conventional weapons. Instead, he used his strategic thinking to defeat the monster. This shows us that sometimes, the most unconventional methods can lead to triumph. It’s not always about having the biggest or strongest weapons, but rather using our creativity and intelligence to outsmart our opponents.
