I often encourage people to act as a leader in their own lives—to find their dream and never give up on it regardless of the obstacles and criticism they face. Although taking on a leadership role brings many trials, it also brings great joy and happiness.
In order to be a leader, you need a steady source of hope. That source comes from your true nature. So to find hope, look inside yourself. Feel a sense of hope in your essence and hold onto it. Gather it little by little until it shines brightly in the darkness.
Here are a few things you can do to keep your hope strong and bright:
1. Develop a clear head, open heart, and strong core with exercises such as Brain Wave Vibration, Jungchoong Breathing (abdominal breathing in different energy accumulation and circulation postures), and Kigong. They will bring out your true nature and give you the action power to follow your dream.
2. Break through your habits and limitations. One by one, find the things that cover up your true nature and keep you from your dream, and then create new habits to override them.
3. Don’t let your environment do the driving. You need to adjust your environment so that it’s conducive to success. If you listen to your environment without changing it, you can lose hold of your hope inside.
4. Instead of blaming others for your obstacles, take responsibility for finding a solution. Be the leader that can show others how to overcome obstacles both in finding hope and achieving your dream together.
5. Share what hope you have with others. The more you share hope, the stronger it grows within you and around you. Sharing hope also helps you change your environment.
When you live as a leader and shine your hope brightly to the world, you will find true happiness in your life.

Many times in the morning I read your writings for inspiration to start my day, and motivate my week. We need these reminders to focus back on the true source of hope found inside, not outside. I had a realization – I can change the outside economy by changing my inside economy too.
After reading this message I resolved to focus on what I can change inside, instead of worrying about the outside. I want to feel more inspired and I realized I was losing energy with all my worrying. So I took a short walk and tried to focus on myself again and make a fresh start today… Thank you for this reminder!
Yes! This morning I was feeling run-down. To be a leader for the world I should be the leader of my own life, happy, healthy and peaceful. I will lead my life well today!

Your messages seem to come at the exact moment when I most need them. I really enjoy bowing meditation to feel and hear the voice of my true nature. During my daily life, especially when I am away from my center, I easily get caught up in my emotions or environment. I must watch myself more and change my old patterns. Thank you for the reminder 😀

Your tips are inspiring. I believe in positive thinking. Likewise, our actions will follow through. The brain is very powerful which controls the body and life like holding a kite against the wind letting go freely yet pulling it against any obstacles. Today I learned from your tips that all these positive things we think and do built us to become leaders in our own lives.
