I couldn't agree more. I've always been the type to buck authority over decisions and choices. I am not a typical rebel, I don't like to break 'laws' or rules (hell, I don't even speed), but I also don't wait for someone to tell me (or even agree) that I can do something that I want to do.

Even as a child my mom told me I'd make a good 'manager' (aka I was bossy and made my own rules).

I guess in this way I am a dichotomy. When I wanted to direct plays, I hung around and volunteered at the theater for a few months until I found an "in" and then pretty much plowed my way through doing things my own way (very successfully, I might add.)

I think that has applied many times in many areas of my life and I'm glad I have never really struggled much with feeling the need to fall into someone else's idea of what I should do or how I should do it.

Great post, as always. I always have so much to say to these posts, you'd think I'd find topics like this to write about for my own blog ;)

You're awesome.
