What Is Success? How Leaders Can Restore Their Peace and Get More Sleep

 

One of my favorite quotes by Paulo Coelho asks a powerful question: “What is success? It is being able to go to bed each night with your soul at peace.”

As leaders, many of us know the sleepless nights that come with the territory. The weight of responsibility, the endless to-do lists, the pressure to deliver—these can rob us of our peace and, in turn, our sleep.

But what if success wasn’t about achieving more, but about leading in a way that allows us to sleep with a clear conscience?

According to recent statistics, 69% of leaders report losing sleep due to work-related stress, and 60% admit this lack of rest impacts their decision-making and overall performance.

This shows a clear correlation: sleepless nights lead to diminished leadership capacity. So how can we, as leaders, reclaim our peace and get the rest we need to lead effectively?

3 Practical Ways to Restore Your Peace and Sleep Better:

1.Prioritize What Matters: Not every task is urgent or equally important. Learn to distinguish what truly requires your attention and what can wait. This will help reduce the mental clutter that keeps you awake.

2.Delegate and Trust Your Team: Leadership is not about doing everything yourself; it’s about empowering others. By trusting your team and delegating effectively, you free up time and mental space to rest.

3.Reflect Daily: Take time each day to reflect on your actions. Ask yourself: Did I lead with integrity? Did I make decisions aligned with my values? This self-reflection brings a sense of peace, knowing that even in challenges, you acted with authenticity.

Reflective Questions for Leaders:

  • Am I leading in a way that aligns with my values?

  • Do I trust my team enough to delegate, or am I trying to do it all?

  • How can I create more balance in my life as a leader?

Remember, leadership isn’t just about results. It’s about leading with purpose, with heart, and in a way that lets you rest at night, knowing you’ve given your best. When you lead with integrity, you sleep with peace.
