Lonely at the Top


I am a person who believes all is possible with enough caring and drive. Passion mixed with talent is all that is needed, a significant lack of either and failure is certain. Finding that balance is the test of my inner captain.

Being a person who thrives on a challenge I often end up in leadership where serious change is needed. Big changes require fortitude. There are days when despite all my learning and all my vision I do not know. I ask, I seek, I ask again but in the final weighing of the options I must stand within my own experience and belief. Decisions ultimately I must make alone. So while I like to lead, really ask anyone I am bossy, the moments of action are always preceded by a brief moment of suspended feelings and emotions and then without hesitation--- A moment of faith in which I leap. A lonely leap into the next challenge.
