<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

But to me, Being a self leader means that I am in charge of myself ! If I don\u2019t do It !No one else will and it does not matter<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

what it is that I am doing !<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

Some may say that I am harder on myself then I should be! Others may say that I am lazy ! Well I have found out that those that call me lazy really don\u2019t know me or don\u2019t have the real answers themselves !<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

I have been called lazy at times and sometimes others were right in doing so, but that was back when I saw the world in a different light or should I say I was looking through blinders not really seeing what I could really do for myself . <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

As a self leader, I set out to try something I would have never tried before. I started to write a book a story so to speak ! But not just any old book, I wanted to show myself and the world what a average man like myself could do with just a high school education and no real writing skills , using just my mind and the will to complete something that I had started years ago! So that I could show others that if I could do it, so could they !<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

So I gathered together some friends of mine on a joint effort to start writing a story about our journey into a new world. This was a story I had put off writing years ago back when I was in my twenties , only because I really had no desire at the time to finish it . <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

At the time I guess you could say that it was just a dream of mine to do something I had never done before . The story was called \u201cThe Start of a Dream\u201d. \u00a0I wouldn\u2019t really realize until some years later just how true that title really was . <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

But I had no idea at the time how to even begin writing, so I asked for help over and over but only a few were willing to give me the time or the help I needed to finish this book.\u00a0 But after bugging enough of my friends, I did it but only because I wanted to ! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

No one held my hand and no one really offered any real help other then encouragement , other then to ask how the book was coming along .<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n

So to me being a self leader is being willing to finish what you start whether others are there to help you or not !<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
