"2nd on the Scene" Can Still Bring Success

The future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is. ~C.S. Lewis ~ 

Time will not stand still while you watch others pursuing your dream.  You do not have to be first to be relevant or important.  Sometimes the first person on the scene is the first person who leaves.  You have gifts to give and as long as you move forward, it doesn't matter that someone else did it first.  What is important is that you move forward with your purpose.  You are unique and will bring a new perspective or new innovation to that which you pursue.  Great leaders look for solutions that are already out there and need cultivating.  There are no single ideas, yet at the same time, there are twists to all great inventions.  What is your unique perspective?  Now move forward with passion and change the world.

I will pursue my unique dream.

Find Happiness Within Yourself

Don't let your happiness depend on something you may lose. ~ C.S. Lewis

Jobs may come and go.  People will come into your life and may leave.  Things can break, fall apart or become uninteresting.  You, however, are with yourself forever.  It's a common saying about leadership in that it is "lonely at the top."  If you are at peace with yourself and you are happy with yourself, then you will never be lonely.  Enjoying the company of others is not the same as needing others for fulfillment.  Seek to be with others but do not depend on them for your own mental health.  Be with yourself and find contentment with your life journey.
