Do you want to understand more about yourself?  Ask yourself these:

Am I open to feedback and willing to embrace new ideas?
Am I being objective and facing reality squarely?
Am I living an illusionary life?
Am I really empowering others?
Am I fearful or fearless?
Am I egotistical or positively confident?
Am I carrying a lot of baggage of the past?
 
Asking pertinent questions will bring some insights into your life.  Perhaps you might break through some of the things that hold you back!

My very close friend Robin Sharma has written a great book entitled "The Leader Who Had No Title: A Modern Fable On Real Success In Business and In Life" (Simon & Schuster).

In this wonderful fable, Robin takes you in a journey with a powerful mentor and four teachers. The teachers encompass a hotel room cleaner, a Ski shop owner, a gardener and massage therapist thereby confirming that you do not have to carry a big title or a 'worldly regarded' top notch profession to be a leader or a teacher.
