Becoming Your Best

The 12 Principles of Highly Successful Leader

1.Be true to character 
True means accurate or exact. Being true to yourself is one of the first thing you will want to do. There is no one way to be yourself. There are many ways. Your outward demeanor stems from your internal compass. So perhaps a better way to look at it is how to always be true to the best version of yourself.Being true to (the best version of) yourself is not a one time event. It is a constant decision you make every day, or even every hour. Sometimes you make good decisions. Sometimes you learn. Sometimes you are true to yourself. Sometimes you betray your true self.Whatever you do, don’t beat yourself up, don’t berate yourself, and don’t forget that it takes courage to be true to who you are in a world that is in such a hurry to measure you up and judge you at every turn. But also know this: whoever you are, you have got that courage. You can agree or argue with me on that – that doesn’t change the fact that deep down, you can muster the courage to be your true self if you make up your mind to do so.
2. Use your Imagination
Imagination, also called the faculty of imagining, is the ability to form new images and sensations in the mind that are not perceived through senses such as sight, hearing, or other senses.Your relationship with the world is like a reflection in a mirror. Everything and all your life experience is a reflection of your relationship with this worlds belief systems. Like the saying goes, As you believe in your heart (imagination) so shall it be done unto you. Your Imagination reflects your imagined reality back to you like a mirror.Belief is everything. The belief of your mind is the thought of your mind, it is that simple and just that and nothing else. Thoughts are things and your thoughts create your images in your imagination. All your experience flow from all the images you play out or experience in your imagination. Imagination is real and Imagination is reality. You Are But A Reflection Of Your Imagination. Imagining Creates Reality and you are all Imagination! Your Imagination is like a mirror and your reality is a reflection in the mirror. Ever thing you image can be real.
3. Apply the power of knowledge. 
Many in business believe "Knowledge is Power." Unfortunately, this is less than half the equation. Until knowledge is applied, then and only then does it become powerful. Knowledge is every where. We've probably all heard the phrase “knowledge is power.” Many of us have also eagerly endeavored to be more educated, study countless books and actively pursue knowledge in whatever means we can, all in the hopes of bettering ourselves.Of course, there's nothing wrong with that; knowledge is a fantastic asset, and it can take us so far. But, that’s only if we apply it.If we take what we know and turn it into action, we can fill our lives to the brim with our learning. From my own experience, I've gained plenty of knowledge: about myself, about life and about how to get what I want. I've inundated my brain with “Ted Talks,” myriads of articles and a sizable chunk of the inspirational quotes available on Instagram.I could dish out advice left, right and center, and even lay out plan after plan for myself to achieve my goals.But, until I took those steps, I wouldn't have what I wanted. Until I took my own advice, I would be a hypocrite.Theory is wonderful, but if it's just waiting on the tip of your tongue ready to preach, it can stunt your growth.Until we get practical and turn our words into actions, the knowledge we acquire is merely potential, not power.Knowing heaps and doing nothing led to incredible frustration for me in the past.
4. Never give up. 
Never give up on anything because later on in life you will regret taking the chance. . I work hard everyday and do my best when it comes to my dream and i believe everyone should do the same just work hard and in the end it will pay off. My dream my passion what drives me to keep going is to be a game developer make my own gaming company and make amazing games. Not those call of duty worthless games im talking about games that will make people want more out of it. A game that will make you happy and make you mad and cry and just experience every emotion and also that takes skill to actually play. It will be challenging to accomplish this but that is what makes it even more fun to do. I will never give up on this dream and others also should give up on their dreams if you have something you want to do then go and do it. Don't let others hold you back push them out of the way and rush forward to what you want to do. It will all be worth it in the end you will be doing what you love and you will feel so accomplished that you will want to do more with life. Giving up can be a big word but, many people take it and some don't.
5. Find peace and balance. 
Inner peace and balance are very useful and important for everyone. They are highly valued by most people, but few possess them.
Here are two ways to be peaceful and blance.
1. Look, listen and feel
Intentionally taking in your surroundings and yourself, you can begin to see beauty in the world around you and within you. "Pausing to take note of what you are seeing, hearing and feeling is an incredibly important touchstone for mindful living," explains Patton Thoele. She adds, "A few 60-second check-ins a day can make an amazing difference in how you feel and can lay the groundwork for building mindful habits." Practice: Experience life with all of your senses. You can sit with your senses, eat with your senses, move with your senses, do everything with your senses. It takes conscious effort to hear, feel, see, smell and taste the many things you experience every day. Practice breathing while opening yourself up to sense everything around you. You will move yourself from "sleep living" to mindfully living, enriching your life no matter what you are engaged in doing.
2.Take Timeouts
They worked when you were little and they can work to reduce your adult levels of stress now. When you were young, your parents gave you timeouts to give you a chance to calm down, defuse your anger or have some time to think about why you are getting the time out. As an adult, you can use timeouts as reward, rather than punishment, but still benefit from the calm and introspection they provide. Practice: As soon as you feel your energy waning, take a five to ten-minute timeout to breathe deeply, feel calm, and engage your senses. Thoele Patton recommends refreshing yourself with at least three short, rejuvenating timeouts throughout your day. You can put your hand over your heart and feel it beating – and feel the beats slow down as you let the wave of calm comfort you.
6. Live the Golden Rule 
Live with being a ctr person. The Golden Rule or ethic of reciprocity is a moral maxim or principle of altruism found in many human cultures and religions, suggesting it may be related to a fundamental human nature. Another example is the Golden Rule : a general rule for how to behave that says that you should treat people the way you would like other people to treat you. If you live by the golden rule you will have many things to be proud of. Many people should start now and live the rule so in the future they will feel good about what they did in life. Live this rule with great dignity. And live it with the truth. You have to stay committed to the golden rule to let us know that you are committed to life. The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They make the best on anything.
7. Build and maintain trust. 
This means that once you have gain trust from someone don't loose that trust because it will be hard to get it back.  One of the most important steps in building a foundation of trust is to do what you say you will do. Even if it is a small thing, canceling or failing to follow through will create hairline fractures in your trustworthiness.Trust requires that people believe you will be dependable in the long-term.Thus, when you make someone a promise, you must keep it. While there are some situations where telling the whole truth as you see it might not be the most ethical choice, in most cases, honesty really is the best policy. Tell the truth as must as you can.  Sometimes it feels unavoidable to lie. Sometimes it happens without even thinking. If you do lie to someone, it is best to confess to your lie as soon as possible. Then, explain your motives and be sincere about your remorse.When you feel like lying to someone, either to spare their feelings or to spare yourself from their unfavorable response, find an anchor point to focus on. Choose something good about that person and emphasize this in your communication. People who only convey hard facts come across as cold and distant. This does not encourage trust. " Be careful who you trust, the devil was once a angel."- The Daily Post
8. Quick to listen slow to wrath. 
This means that listen to advice and you know what you are doing. We are to be “quick to hear.” That means we have to stop and give the other person our attention. How many times have we heard the words, but then, when asked a question, we’ve realized we hadn’t really been paying attention and don’t actually know how to respond? We must model this willingness to really listen, to really hear. And when we can’t do so, we must let the other person know we will give them our undivided attention as soon as we’re able—and then remember to do so. And for those of us who are extroverts, the second imperative in the verse is likely the most challenging. We are to be “slow to speak.” That can be tough when a dozen responses immediately pop into our head. But not everyone is looking for our insights and so-called wisdom. Sometimes they just need someone to listen. They may be working things out by voicing their thoughts and ideas. What they actually need is a loving, caring sounding board. Our response just might have the opposite effect than we intend. We may want to help, but the underlying message the listener hears—even though it isn’t what we intend—is this: You are not capable of figuring this out; you need my help to do so.
9. Lead with vision
This means that you have to lead with your eyes because they will find the right thing to do and many more. The key elements of leadership are the ability to create a vision, then to lead people towards its fulfillment. Leaders look for new opportunities or different ways to foster growth. Leaders find the new and look to the future, building on but not resting on current success. Good leaders also look for differences and opportunities, rather than necessarily taking the most obvious or popular route. However, there is no point in being a visionary leader if your followers can’t follow, no matter how enthusiastic they might be. This is where the importance of bridge building lies, as an essential complement to vision. Setting out in a new direction requires leaders who can not only lead the way, but who can help others to follow. Leaders who prepare the way, ensuring that others can follow. They make links between where people are, and where he or she is taking them. Not surprisingly though, encouraging people to move from current reality to new ground can cause tension. Make your vision so clear that fear will become so irrelevant.
10. Manage with a plan
Learning a new skill and a set of strategies involves a process that must be diligently followed and acted upon. At first undertaking this process might feel uncomfortable and somewhat tedious. That is understandable, as anything new takes time and effort to practice and eventually absorb into our daily routine. When it comes to time management the process is pretty straightforward, however it may take a little patience and some effort at first, before it eventually becomes ingrained into our psyche as a new habit. Whenever goals are set, a plan of action must immediately follow. Create a quick write up and general action plan of how you will go about achieving these goals. Plan your future and there will be a possibility of coming true. Get yourself organized by starting with your thoughts. If you are finding that there is just too much information circulating around your mind at one time, then develop the habit of writing your thoughts out on paper and clearing your head of the clutter that is weighing you down. Once your plans, tasks and ideas are on paper, your head will be much clearer and more organized.Remember in order to have a plan you need time and agonizing plan.
11. Do what matters the most
This means that you know what you are going to do them do it right and know if they are consequences. There is never that much time to do everything, do the things that you know matter and are important the most. There are obstacles that will affect you but do it if you know its the right thing.
1. Make every moment matter. Too often, we are stuck feeling bitter about the past or thinking about what might happen in the future. We are either holding regrets or worrying. The truth is, there is only now. You can only live in this moment — that’s why you need to make this moment count. What’s happened has passed and what is going to happen depends on what you do right now. Make every moment matter.
2. Be happy now. Because happiness is not a destination.Just like living for the moment, be as happy as you can when you can. Realize that you don’t have to be happy when you have attained something. Happiness is something that you choose, a mental state that attracts more things to be happy about!
12.  Be accountable
Subject to the obligation to report, explain, or justify something; responsible; answerable. Act responsible for your actions. You are you you know what you will do with your life. Step up and don't be afraid you know you can do it. Try your best because in Realizing that we've surrendered our self-esteem to others and choosing to be accountable for our own self-worth would mean absorbing the terrifying fact that we're always vulnerable to pain and loss. I recognize I have faults. I'm accountable for them, and I try to do what I can to correct them. I will say that it's unfortunate that everything I do is scrutinized to the point that it is. First, I don't watch the news, I stay away from political conversations. life you will regretted. Be responsible for yourself and not others you know your things.
Reflection: I learn many things in this series of becoming my best. They can benefit by helping me succeed  in life. By choosing the right and knowing what path to take. They will help me choose what i want to become to tell the truth that's what accounts. The one i am applying right now is do what matters the most.  Why? Because it's truth do what you know goes first because in life time flies by fast and you have to appreciate the time to do everything that's important in life. I will use this to my goals because they will help me to accomplish them and succeed. I will teach people about this by telling them what is right. And show them how it's done so that they know how to do it. This will lead you to success in life.
