The Lyric: “It’s easy to be a follower, but it takes a whole lot of heart to be a leader.” — Snoop Dogg

The Deep Dive: Leadership isn’t always about standing on a stage; usually, it’s about leading your own life when everyone else is trying to hand you a map. It is incredibly easy to blend in, to say “yes” to things you don’t believe in, and to follow the path of least resistance. It takes real heart—the warrior’s kind—to look at a crowd going one way and say, “That’s not for me,” and walk the other way.

The Warrior Action: Check your “inner circle.” Are you leading your life based on your values, or are you letting backseat drivers tell you how to steer? This week, practice saying “No” to one thing that doesn’t align with your truth, even if it’s the “popular” choice.
