You go first. .

I wonder if people are just waiting for you to make the first move all the time. I'm not really talking in relationships, although i'm pretty positive it happens often in that spectrum. I'm talking about maybe your sibling waiting for you to make the first move in competition, or perhaps in life successes. I wonder why people look to others to set their standards in goals and in life. It's like you want to just do enough. Not too much effort, but not be a bumb. It's interesting, who do you compare yourself to? Are you ahead of them? Are you tie? Are they better in other areas and you likewise? Does that take away from your identity to be you? Are you so caught up in competition that you've stopped living the life you want to live and not just tagging along on someone else's journey? Don't wait. You never know what's going to happen.

When you suffer, you look straight ahead. When it's fun you look left and right. ~Lance Armstrong
