To be an impactful leader is to cultivate godly character.
To cultivate a godly character is develop the right mindset.
One thing you must remember and have an understanding of in the making of a leader and youth with a difference ,
Is that leadership is not about making everyone happy.
Most times as youths, there’s this pressure to be the influential one whether at the office, on campus or now adays at our fingertips- a social media Influencer, but of course that’s not bad itself as,

You can as well go sell Ice cream if the mindset you nurture as a leader in the making, is one that seeks to make everyone happy.
I once told a mentee, my aim of being on social media is not to become a social media influencer , the calling on my life is way higher than that!

Until one is open to positive changes,
You can read all the inspirational books you find, listen to motivational talks or even move with a class of people but when faced with life challenges,
the real stuff you’re made of will easily surface.
So you see, it’s a personal responsibility to cultivate and continuously build the right mindset.
Ask yourself, as a personal brand (you are a brand) what are my convictions?
My values? What standards have I set for myself?
When others say “if you can’t beat them you join them”, would that be your saying as well? Or would you rather say,
“๐๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ๐ฌ ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ฎ๐ญ ๐ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ ๐ง๐จ๐ญ!”
