While doing common house chorse today I realized that there really are two kinds of people in the world. There are leaders and there are the “other guys”. I think that I am one of the latter. I’m not inclined to own my own business or tell people what to do. I’m more appropriately placed as an assistant. I am very happy doing other peoples bidding and letting them take the heat for the problems that may or may not occur.
I’m more than happy to seek out and purchase commercial fitness equipment if thats what my boss requires of me, however I do not want to be the person thats calling the shots. I guess I just don’t like having to explain myself or justify something that I am doing. In a position of power that seems to be the only thing that you are doing. Regardless of how high up the ladder you are there is always someone to answer to. I’ll gladly climb that ladder to meet the next person in the chain, but I don’t want to be the person that people are climbing to meet.
To most people that probably shows some sort of lack of Initiative but for me, its being realistic. I’m never going to be well known or rich, but I can be happy knowing who I really am. If that means I’m someone else’s lacky, then I’m okay with that. So long as I’m honest with myself.
Plus, I’m kind of lazy and don’t like to get in trouble.
