To be successful you have to be selfish. .

or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don't isolate - Michael Jordan

I've always had this sense of self-righteousness outside of my friends, when I am not with them I take their teachings and try to apply them to my daily life and for sometime now I felt something was lacking for everything I have done there is still a lot I haven't accomplished

Admittedly I believed they were much smarter than I could ever be, I fell into a lull and was amazed at a lot of the stuff they were accomplishing on their own. All the while forgetting I had my own stuff to do. I found myself eventually reverting back into this mentality that I will get there if I just wait it out. They didn't wait for anything, why should I?

I was doing them a disservice by ignoring my own life by still hovering in theirs. I still don't understand fully but I don't have time to find out, I only have time to understand what is useful to me and throw away what is useless. Rocky says keep moving forward and that's what I am going to do.

Everything around me is changing now, and I HAVE to learn to adapt to this. Last night I sat in my house for a few hours in solitude, thinking about my life up to that very point.

I though about my education, my short career, my family, my love life and what it all means to me, where do I go from here and if I am ready to be unselfish? My answer was no, I'm not ready to be unselfish. I haven't achieved enough, I haven't learned enough about myself and I definitely haven't reached any of my potential yet.

Mike says "Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen." This quote has 3 parts, I only ever paid attention to the first two.
