Self-leadership

"Everyone thinks of changing the world and no one thinks of changing himself." -- Tolstoy

Please note the title for this posting is NOT Self-help, but Self-leadership. Our narcissistic culture is fixated on the wrong perspective. Self-leadership is taking charge, accepting responsibility for your self (your genes are not responsible), and disciplining yourself into maturity.

Yes, maturity. That's a good thing. Staying young "forever" is not an objective. We should want to grow up and be mature, to seek out more responsibility.

Terry Storch has a great insight about self-leadership: we are only as accountable as we want to be. This short blog-posting is worth checking out.
