Leadership can feel heavy.
You might be wondering,
am I really the right person for this?
Doubt creeps in, whispering that you're not good enough,
not smart enough, not something enough.
But here's the truth.
You are here for a reason.
You have been given this role because of who you are,
not who you think you need to be.
Great leaders aren't those who have all the answers,
they're those who show up, listen, and keep trying.
You don't need to have it all figured out.
Your willingness to learn, your care,
and your willingness to take responsibility,
that's what makes a good leader.
And remember, God equips those he calls.
He's put you here.
He will provide what you need.
You're not doing this alone.
His strength is with you, even when yours feels low.
I want you to make sure that you have a great coach
or a mentor as you're moving forward
in your leadership journey.
Don't do this alone spiritually.
Allow God to be part of this process leading you,
but practically don't do this alone.
Make sure that you have a strong coach or a mentor
who can see you through the day-to-day struggles.
You need someone who's been there, who knows you,
who cares about you,
and can guide you every step of the way.
Now, doubt can be a sign of humility,
but don't let it shrink you.
Instead, let it remind you to stay open,
to keep growing, and to rely on God's guidance.
You don't have to be perfect to lead well.
You just need to be present, willing, and courageous.
So take a deep breath, get all of the help you can,
and remind yourself of the wins, the progress,
and the moments when you've made a difference.
You're doing better than you think, so keep showing up,
keep trusting that you've got what it takes,
and lead boldly.
The world needs your voice and your heart.
