We have made leadership into something bigger than us. We have made it into something beyond us. We made it about changing the world. And we’ve taken this title of leader and we treat it as if it’s something that one day we’re going to deserve.
We spend so much time celebrating amazing things that hardly anyone can do that we convinced ourselves that those things are the only things worth celebrating. And we start to devalue the things that we can do every day. We start to take moments where we truly are a leader and we don’t let ourselves take credit for it, and we don’t let ourselves feel good about it.
