There will be challenges. These challenges are gifts.
“In your wildest dreams, what would your life look like?”
Some of the best life and leadership conversations I have with leaders comes back to this question. Most of the time the answers tend to go to two extremes.
In an industry typically marked by the pursuit of fame, fortune, ego, and all the trappings of success, it’s likely what has made Kate Winslet so successful, for going on 30 years is actually an authentic commitment to the pursuit of mastery. It’s a lifestyle she’s living and it’s evidence and fruit is visible to us all.
Let’s dive into the masterclass in mastery mindset from the career of Kate Winslet.
Success is who you are!
It’s been gifted to us in the form of some type of ability.
When you stop and think about it, does the world really need another, “anything?” The reasonable response to that question is always going to be no. Everything’s been done. Nothing’s new! Yet every year someone manages to push past all that reason and present us with a way better version of the same old thing. Something remarkable!
Everyday there is an assault on our ability to live on purpose and focus on becoming the type of leader we want to be. We’re bombarded with our own sense of drifting. Balancing too many things. Busy schedules. Weighing in on every hot topic. Distractions to do whatever it takes to keep us a little less focused on purpose.
“And just how would you define neighbor?” (Luke 10:29)
We tend to make things more complicated than they need to be.
We ask questions not to get closer to clarity, but to create more confusion. Why would we do that?
It creates loopholes! Just enough ambiguity to liberate us from real accountability
For a highly skilled, transformational leader. The details matter. They matter a lot.
The discipline is in the details. The daily efforts that stack over time and take an individual, a team or organization further than they even dreamed. There is however, one major obstacle to the details.
Procrastination.
