Theeo Principle №87
Lead, Don’t Follow

Fundamental to the embodiment of the leader archetype is a commitment to your own knowing. A cultivation of discernment using an internal compass — one that guides and steers your thoughts, words, and deeds.
In a world full of noise, projection, and rising toxicity, that internal compass is in a constant fight to stay clear.

Without discipline, practice, and grit, you can too easily be wooed by the hypnosis of social conditioning. Handed a script you never agreed to. Running on someone else's frequency without knowing it.

A leader brings from within – their best and deepest knowing – and allows it to meet the world. To resonate, or not always. The collective attracts and responds to the need of the time, at the level it is ready and willing. More leaders leading from depth means more access to intelligent leadership for everyone.

Lead, don't follow.

Agreeing to the hypnosis of social conditioning impedes the collective’s ability to have access to your leadership.

Nicking our writing, languaging, diagramming, and word choices without acknowledging and appreciating your source depletes the integrity and mutual respect as members of the commons.
Consciously citing your sources shows respect for intellectual property, while supporting a culture of gratitude — crucial in an open-source community and beyond.

We hope you feel inspired.
