You are now a voice of influence
The question is: influence for what?

1) Choose leadership over control

– Be the sun, not the spotlight

2) Detach from praise AND criticism

– The work does

3) Don’t become a prisoner of persona
– Reinvent if needed
– Don’t sell your soul to an old version of yourself

4) Create from stillness
– Let your next evolution come from silence, not pressure

5) Give back daily

– Run impact projects
– Teach openly
– Use your spotlight to illuminate others

6) Ask yourself one question weekly
– If I lost it all today, would I still be proud of how I showed up?

Create like a Rishi
Serve like a Sikh
Detach like a Jain
Be mindful like a Buddha
