On the shoulders of giants

people in our circle…somehow feel like leaders…
and we are.
but we must learn one thing
we cannot save the world.

I often ask myself why I feel miserable, and it’s actually a simple fact that everyone knows and can see. Because I grew up in an environment of leaders, and we often assume the role of responsibility. We are so often appointed into such roles that we forget at times, we are not leaders, and we are not at fault for failure. We just can’t let go. Because we are who we are. Leaders are lonely people who live in a world of their own, their problems understood only by other leaders, and hopefully their spouses

Boys, we’ll never be able to give it up. Because we hunger for success. We look failure in the eyes, and spit at it. We fear nothing ourselves but fear the repercussions that will affect our loved ones and those we care. At the end of it all, we look at what we have done, smile and take it with us to the grave.

Here on the tombstone writes, “Here lies a leader, a worthy adversary, one who spit in the face of fear and so landed under here.”

Ok, kidding.
