Puppet or Puppeteer

Chris Walker discusses the concept of being a "puppet," where individuals react to external stimuli—such as the opinions, criticisms, or expectations of others—rather than acting from their own intentions and purpose. He explains that this reactive behaviour is like having strings pulled by external forces, which prevents true autonomy and self-leadership. Chris emphasises the importance of cutting these strings by cultivating mindfulness and aligning actions with one's vision, inspiration, and purpose. He concludes by highlighting the freedom that comes from living intentionally rather than reacting to external triggers.
