Life is full of uncertainty. We try to put things in place, have some control and put trust in others to be there through the good and bad times. We want security and stability. We follow the rules and guidelines to have more certainty. Professionally we go through the protocol of getting an education aimed at getting a career that we enjoy with an income to take care of our expenses and build security. Along the way stuff happens. Maybe higher educational goals were interrupted due to circumstances beyond your control, or the job you had your heart set on didn’t pan out. Or perhaps you got to the top of the corporate ladder only to be downsized, or an illness stopped you in your career track.

Today, change is showing up globally; it’s as if it was a volcano that for a while was merely spewing smoke but has now erupted. The signs were there. The “too good to be true” mortgages with little or no down payment; credit card debt mounting to outlandish proportions; trying to have it all by working harder and longer with little time left over to develop relationships and self-care. With all the stress internally and externally, it was inevitable for the bubble to burst.

Whether your bubble has burst or not, we are all affected by the global negativity. We look toward leaders to solve the multitude of crises going on locally and worldwide. That solution is only part of what’s necessary to turn chaos around. Servant leaders need leadership from followers. You are a leader and part of the synergistic result to a better way. Within every crisis are opportunities to build new leadership strategies for the good of your immediate community and to make a difference in the world. Believe me, the Universe knows how to get your attention, to wake you up to the self-awareness of your brilliance.

This is your time to shine brighter and create the world you want. It begins as you draw on your creativity and resolve that you will NOT back down due to fear of the unknown. You are creative, resourceful and whole!
