Ambitious Nobody

My goals for myself are surely no more important than your goals for yourself. As much as I may want to believe that I take precedence over others, this simply is not the case.  Too often we consider ourselves to be failures because we succumb to the trap of comparisons. Do I have what s/he has; Can I do what s/he does?  Your task here on earth to to pay it forward. We can't control one thing that happened before the day we were born; however, we are completely responsible for the world that we exist in and how that world functions after we are gone.

I have mastered the Tools of Exclusion and Inclusion to create an environment ideal for my personality; however, that is for my personality as it is, not necessarily as I want it to be.  Although I get caught up in the individualistic ideals at times, I always come back to my desire to do what's in the best interest of everyone I come in contact with. This doesn't mean I'll always be liked, praised or thanked. It does mean that after our interaction, if I've done my best, I've contributed in some way to myself and/or someone else.

A dangerous occurrence - I've found out what folks are awed about. I know how to exploit it when I want to, I know how to hide it when it suits me.  I should never hide it, and should use it to the benefit of not only myself, but implement a more pointed plan toward the success of others.

I am being called, pulled and forced toward something that I'm not yet certain of. I do know that it involves the betterment of man, the good of the collective and the consciousness of folk. Let's just see. Until I figure out my real purpose, I'm nothing more than an ambitious nobody.
