You Just Feel It

Ever thought how important first steps are? If not for the few legends that stood between time and threshold where would we be today? Shakespeare may have written with a feather but that clumsy technicality to put ink into sweet sonnets never stopped his aspirations. That is the kind of leaders we want, not the animated cartoons of the modern politics. I mean if Nelson Mandela was to walk me through a maze I wouldn’t even hesitate to follow. What kind of a leader helps you to pick flowers in a garden and denies you when weeds grow and thorns sharpen? The integrity and the ability to acknowledge where one comes from plays a vital role to bear leaders whom have the presence of all that is good within them, not scaling the degree of their adversities. Obviously we can’t leave our roots because the boots of our forefathers lay ahead. We all have that responsibility at least. You don’t become a legend by staying in prison for twenty-seven years and lose all that by vengeance.
