Being successful has been over emphasized. It has been mistaken as the self achievement to a large degree. It has been labeled as being rich or famous, or even being interpreted as permanent.

Success like everything in life is impermanent.

Those got you success will not guarantee your success once you move to a new role. As we all know: those got you here will not bring you there.

However, there is one permanent element that can bring you joy and fulfillment to your life. This element is being generous.

When you give your generosity by being show up and being empathetic to serve others, you live your real self. You are successful in your own way.

Being generous requires courage, especially when you do not feel doing so. When you are wrongly accused; when you are set up for failure; when you are tired; when your vulnerability is exposed… these are the occasions calling for your leadership and requiring your courage.

Also during these tough occasions you need to come back to your sense of self. You need raise your awareness by meditation, reflection and getting your self together. You know deep down to the heart that you want to do more, express more, serve more. You might just need a break, a quiet place, a hug to your self, a talk to your self.

Then make time and space to do these.

Recharge yourself.

Let your service mind comes back to you.

What does it tell you when you feel you are an imposter?

My friends told me they feel their imposter-ish moments or situations:

• When they are promoted to a higher position;
• When they have multiple roles to play, the situations where they play more glamours role;
• When they are called to be sitting at the boss’ table;
• When they are praised by their boss…

Any of these examples has showed the fear in us. We want to hide, but we are on the spot, no where to hide.

We are afraid of exposure of our vulnerability.

What it takes is courage – the courage to dare greatly.

Why not allow us breaking our own rules, our small talks, and our shell. Do something you never have done before. Release your energy, break free, and dare greatly!

When I was little my parents alway told me to save candies or changes aside for future, a raining day, or another occasion. That may be one of the reasons I have developed some sort of scarcity mentality.

I save my best clothes for another important occasion. I save part of my energy for another day. I save some of my ideas to use in future… you get the idea – the mentality of scarcity has spilled over to my daily life and work.

When we live present, we give it all. We allow us to have free flow and totally immerse in the present moment. With abundance in mind, we can achieve the freedom we want.

There is no scarcity to find something you love for a living. There is only scarcity to resolve to find a way how to do it.
