"As you become masterful with the elements, you'll likely attract or be drawn to people awake to their creative power who have built inner resilience and who have accessed the same elemental, universal truths you have. You'll be increasingly drawn to collaborate with people rooted in their powers and reaching to become more, sensing themselves and the cosmos. New, more evolved possibilities and collaborations arise. You are waking up to another level of impact, or dharma, of your human capacity. You might even sense a collaborative spirit, a collective potentiality. You are entering the dynamic of collective leadership, in which you can access new dimensions of collaboration and innovation.

"Activated by the elements, you'll notice you are being pulled or called to lead. People sense your rooted, aligned power and are attracted to you. Master of You evolves into Leader of Us. Where you lead us is part of your dharma unfolding, powered by the elements, awake and intuitively attracted to aligned, unique vision and synergistic potentials. Holistic leaders are discovering and experimenting with new ground rules, insights, and exercises that activate collective leadership. How are you being called to lead? Notice that. Like Susan B. Anthony leading the reform, your community -- however grand or small -- is calling on you to be and to lead the evolution. By reading this book and doing the work to be self-empowered by the elements, you are part of this collective evolution. You are leading yourself. As a leader, you honor your dharma -- your purpose -- even as it expands, requiring you to evolve on your path of becoming. You lead us.

"You are the cosmos.

"You are the cosmos that created you.

"You create via the five elements, out of possibility toward excellence.

"You are the magic and the myth.

"You are the hero and the journey.

"And yet.

"You are ordinary.

"You lead an ordinary life, like the rest of us.

"And yet.

"You are extraordinary.

"Even in the hustle bustle of today, you remember. You and the creator are one, the same. The five elements are your powers to shape yourself and your cosmos. You design you for your next chapter of dharma.

"You hear opportunity knocking.

"You become a beacon for those around you to unearth their deeper dreams, fire up their ambitions, discover their inner rhythm, free their time, unleash their flow. In your experiments, you are an inspiration to those around you of being and becoming, like the cosmos, both at ease and ambitious. You wield the elements and grow in ever-increasing integrity and capacity.

"You shape your world. You choose your next identity and shape-shift. You are a master of being and belonging and becoming -- a master of you.

"Activated with the wisdom of the elements, you lead us."
