To LEAD is to SERVE

If serving is beneath you, Leadership is beyond you

3 POWERFUL steps to be(come) a leader.

1. Take responsibility for your actions: Not all of your actions are good ones. Not all of your choices and decisions are something to be proud of. That’s not the point. The real point is when you take responsibility for what you do, you gain control over your life and you learn about what went wrong. Accepting responsibility for your actions sets a good example to others and can leave you with great lessons learned.

2. Be proactive: Stop sitting and waiting around for your big break or for luck to come your way. Luck will never come your way unless you are willing to meet it halfway; try new things. Be open-minded! Start by looking up the word "proactive" and "open-minded" if you don't know what they mean!

3. Engage in positive actions: Just do what’s right! If you see something wrong in your school or community, take steps to fix it (e.g., Too much garbage lying around? No problem! Form a group and start cleaning up. It’s as simple as that!). Sometimes, however, it can be hard to do the responsible thing when there are better activities awaiting you (e.g., your favourite TV show, hanging out with friends, video gaming). Some decisions are harder than others, but do what will make you feel less guilty, less stressed, and less bad.
