Don't Be A Leaner: You Were Created to Stand, Not to Lean on Others
Manage episode 503758398 series 3475547
What happens when you stop leaning and start standing in your own power? Everything changes.
Most of us have become unconscious leaners – waiting for validation before moving forward, depending on others' approval to determine our worth, or believing our success lies in someone else's hands. But as Ernest Holmes wisely observed, "Do not lean on anyone. You must stand straight in your own strength."
In this powerful follow-up to our "Borrowing Brilliance" episode, we clarify an essential distinction: borrowing ideas and wisdom from others doesn't mean leaning on them for support. Like an oak tree with deep roots, you possess everything needed to stand tall through life's storms. The infinite creative power you seek isn't external – it lives within you, waiting to be expressed. When you stand aligned and grounded, you become a clear channel for strength, clarity, and abundance. But when you lean, you block this natural flow.
Through practical strategies and compelling examples, we explore how to recognize when you're leaning and how to shift into a stance of personal power. You'll learn to claim your inner strength through daily affirmations, catch yourself in moments of dependency, deepen your spiritual roots, and take bold action even without perfect circumstances. One coaching client discovered that by recognizing themselves first instead of waiting for their boss's validation, everything shifted – not because their environment changed, but because they did.
Standing in your own power creates a presence that radiates without words. It's not about isolation but authentic connection from a place of wholeness. When you stop leaning, you stop waiting. And when you stop waiting, you start creating the life you were meant to live. Are you ready to stand?
