Shooting down a tall poppy can unfortunately become a national sport. If you suddenly decide to rise up from your not-so-perfect circumstances it will put on the spot those who either condone or benefit from the situation. A power play has been exposed.

Are there others who could benefit from your breakthrough also? Could you break a path and motivate others by your example? Have you given up on your dream too easily? Is there something you are passionate about? Something to make your mark in society? Something to make a difference in your sphere of influence? Will you rise up to the challenge? What do you want to be remembered for?

Some people have taken years to get where they were supposed to get to. Others have meticulously planned their strategy like an escape from jail. While others have broadened their knowledge to gather the missing parts of their puzzle.
