There are few things the world needs more than leaders who know themselves and know God, who are able to differentiate from the countless voices around them and do the Father’s will. The following are a few makers of a life with a growing, differentiated self:
- Life becomes easier.
- More ability to choose between thinking and feeling.
- More ability to choose one’s emotions.
- Less worry about what other’s think.
- People in one’s family are doing better.
- Goals become clearer.
- An ability to “stay out” of others’ emotions.
- More curiosity.
- Clearer thinking.
- Thinking systems more often.
- Better health, fewer symptoms of all kinds.
- Able to take a well, thought-out position.
- More goals become realities.
- Better, cleaner relationships
Are you progressing on this difficult journey of leading others? Let me encourage you to read, or re-read, chapter four in Emotionally Healthy Spirituality (“Know Yourself that You May Know God”) and The Emotionally Healthy Woman (This is an entire book focused on differentiation). There are few things the people around you need more from you than for you to be clear within yourself about who you are and who you are not.
