The Leader, The Follower, and the Settler

As I come into my adult life the pressures of my ambitious lifestyle is truly consuming me. Faced with all my major goals at once I wonder what success is truly worth. I face a lot of isolation and sacrifice in order to make a better life for those willing to fight the good fight. Having a job in my field pursuing an accelerated masters degree and trying to run a clothing company has kept me completely busy. Barely having time for myself has truly been getting to me but this is the price I decided long ago that I was willing to pay for my success. In this world there are three types of people. There are leaders, followers, and settlers. Leaders have vision and ambition and they know what it is to take action. Followers know leaders are capable so they assist in helping a leader through the struggle stages in order to be a part of something greater and better themselves. Last but not least there are settlers they could have been either of the previous types at some point but they decide to be satisfied with what they have. Don't get me wrong leaders and followers are not ungrateful people, they just seem to know that a life spent not chasing potential is not necessarily a life worth being mentioned much less lived. In my opinion if your not going to be somebody then why be anybody. You have to want something better for yourself. Want something better for those around you. Don't settle for whats given to you chances are that is someone else's scraps. So if you like being fed by others that's your choice but i'm a man who believes firmly in making waves, setting out on your own path. It's not for recognition or fame its for a promise I made to myself that on my dying day I would closely resemble the man I could have been. I read somewhere that hell was seeing what you could have been in this life. If that is true the devil will be mighty upset when he sees me because I am going to run circles around my potential. So I say to you never be satisfied. Appreciate what you have and compliment it by bettering yourself. Improve  update, and overcome. This is what life is about. Stay consistent, be yourself but grow within yourself. Until next time keep it LYM!
