“This above all: to thine own self be true” Shakespeare has thrown an ageless gauntlet and professionals who pick up this timeless challenge, go ahead and incorporate it in their working lives tend to advance professionally and have a fulfilling life. The key point to always remember is that there are many dimensions inside you, each of them has their own legitimacy, and you got to acknowledge this fact and use it to your advantage.
The Dilemma
It may take you years to try and hold on to this standard both in personal as well as professional life and leadership roles. No one says it is going to be easy though. There are times when you are faced with a hard choice, deciding between conflicting things, at such moments you are faced with the dilemma of deciding who to be true to.
Introspect
When faced with such moments, we need to do some introspection and take a peek into the various selves. All of these have their values as well as needs. This is best seen at times 
when you find yourself really torn with making a decision, the head may point left, the heart might say right and your dreams would like you to go really big, caution is of the opinion that you should stay small and you are in the midst of a full blown dilemma.
Relate with The Parts
Which side of the conflict does the real you relate with, is it possible that all the sides were you, again is it possible that there are lot many parts of you, and all of them are really you.
What Makes Humans Tick
We can tweak the quote a bit and rephrase it, “ To thine own selves be true”. Have you ever pondered for a while as to what is that makes humans tick, well there are basic selves in each person that one needs to be true to, only than is it possible to find true success and deep fulfillment.
The Dreamer
The important ones are; the dreamer a person who truly cares about creativity as well as future vision, then we have the thinker who invests time and energy in reason, analysis and interpretation. Then there is the admirer, who gives prominence to emotions, relationships and the interplay between them. Finally there is the warrior who channelizes determined energy for achieving desired results and protect what really matters.
A Successful Day
You need to be able to maintain a healthy and cordial dialogue between these key parts or shall we say sub parts of you. As and when this is accomplished, you would label the day pretty much as successful. Talking about external success, for you and your clients, would consistently flow from this really truly effective internal collaboration. Precious energy gets dissipated when there is internal friction, so one needs to keep all the important internal parts and subdivisions in sync, with the dialogue between them going pretty smooth at all given times.
The Road to Success
You can take the road to success addressing one Self at a time by staying true to these internal parts that make the eternal whole, that is you. At times you would need to allow the dreamer to take over, wherein you would allow yourself to muse about the ideal world you want to see yourself in, visualizing this would energize you no end by suggesting that your future holds great promises and even greater possibilities.
The Thinker
When you listen to your thinker you get clarity on big as well as complex decisions. At times breaking down bigger data into smaller parts and analyzing them gives you an altogether different perspective.
Awaken Your Emotional Intelligence
At other times you need to re -look at things with the eyes of an admirer, you would be able to bring to the surface a number of lurking emotions, that would make you approach the issues at hand with a different dimension, and in the process you would feel better and sort out your problems more effectively. When you have withdrawn from people the admirer would give clues to the loneliness or fear of failure, or people slowing you down as the reason for going into your shell, it would suggest ways to reach out to people again by awaking your emotional intelligence.
Final Words
Same with the warrior avatar of yours, a single step in the right direction is sufficient to unleash the power of the warrior within. A healthy warrior is in love with momentum and relishes the feeling of crossing the finishing line. Be true to yourself and your inner selves, the dreamer, the thinker, the admirer and the warrior, they would take you places.
