Today's post digs a little deep because it's been something on my mind within the past year.
Ever since I was little, I knew that I was some form of a leader. My personality and my actions have both portrayed me as some type of leader. I am an individual and I follow my own path for the most part. What yanks my chain is when I have people who follow me as though they are in a cult or a groupie following a band.
This is for sure an ego booster. Who wouldn't want to have followers? ....right?
Well I have found that this isn't always the best case. How does one go from being a leader to an actual follower? Should one go from being a leader to a follower for the mere purpose of stopping certain actions of other people?
My personality is strong.
I really wish that others would follow their own path instead of following mine. I'm honored, really I am. But in the difficult world that we live in, we must follow our own way and not that of others. Having people follow me, sometimes, puts me in bad positions because others look to me for my next move and wonder which course of action I will take. Based on this course of action will determine what others will do.
I see this occurring more and more as time goes on.
I must set a tone for this before it continues to get out of hand.
I know what the solutions is, but taking the necessary steps to do it will be the hardest challenge to date.
In conclusion, I do not mind being a leader. It's who I am and who I will continue to be, I just wish I didn't have groupies following me while I strum my guitar.
