Leading

Lead - To go before or with to show the way; conduct or escort.

"If you would just lead them, they would follow you." - William Wallace.

      I tend to believe the world and its occupants have more meaning in themselves than they potentially want to express. In fact, I believe that most people in the world have more than one thing in common, the inability to lead. Not only the fault of leading others, but the suffer in the fact that they cannot lead themselves. Our world is full of people conforming to ideals, trends and cultures but the majority of people do not truly lead. Leadership has it's different varieties as for all of them are not good. Good leadership comes with humbleness. The people that think they should lead are often times people that are the worst at it. People that believe they are so called "different" are actually people that are so afraid of what others might think influencing them to stand out that much more. The loudest person in the room is the weakest person in the room. People who tend to say "I don't give a fuck" are often times people that kill themselves on the inside. Leadership starts with yourself. Taking risks and not looking back is something you cannot fully understand until you experience it firsthand. I believe one day people of my generation and the generations after will be ready for a change so great that dependency will no longer be looked greatly upon in the slightest bit. Everyone will take up themselves entirely and the world could see its true potential of being not just average but limitless. Leadership is only as strong as the faith the person puts behind themselves. I greatly hope that whoever reads this will find it inspirational.
