"...How can you just leave me standing
alone in a world that's so cold?
Maybe I'm just too demanding.
Maybe I'm just like my father - too bold..." - Prince in "When Doves Cry"

There are two types of people in this world - those that react to the world, and those that cause a reaction.

We all need to be bold enough and confident enough in ourselves that we can commit to being an assertive force in this world, and not just reacting to what life throws our way.

Many live their wholes lives trying to "maintain". They react to the bills and the blows and the bad times that come their way, hoping to just fix this problem and then maintain until the next problem comes along. Their life is a constant attempt to break even.

We need to step out. Step up. Step ahead to something better. The only person that tells us we're not meant to be more than what we are is ourselves.
