If you’ve ever listened to this podcast (or any piece of self-help media for that matter) and thought, “well that’s all great advice, but it would never work for me,” let this be the one episode you take to heart. So many of us get stuck in a rut, feeling like we have no control over our lives. Psychologists call this a low “locus of control,” where we feel like nothing we do matters, that life is just something happening *to* us. The problem with that line of thinking is that it keeps us miserable and stuck without any reason to take action—why try to make a change if you think it won’t matter? Conversely, feeling a sense of control and ownership of our lives has numerous mental and physical benefits, and can create a larger effect as we impact the people around us. Leadership doesn’t have to “start from the top,” it can begin right there, where you’re standing now.
