Remember that honoring the heart does not signify weakness. True power means listening to and from the heart and having the commitment and humility to clear all that stands in the way of that heart connection. As the sagacious Grand Master of the Jedi Order, Yoda once said, “Do or do not. There is no try.” Stay true to a commitment to lead from the heart and you are sure to reap the rewards.
