**Warning: This Post Contains Torture!**
And No, that title was not just and excuse to post a video of Paris Hilton (If you knew me you would know that my tastes are much better than that).
I've said before that the only way to become a star is to be a star maker. After all, how can you be a star if you haven't taken the pre-requisite courses in sky darting, moonlighting and twinkle-ometry.
In all seriousness, I question sometimes if I have made enough contributions into making others stars. I try to improve the lives of those around me every day. Yet, sometimes my efforts are not appreciated and even met with resentment.
For that reason I have come to the conclusion that some people are just not meant to be stars or do not want to accept the responsibility that comes with stardom. Let me be clear, I am not referring solely to Hollywood-like fame. I'm just talking about being on the top of your game and feeling like the king or queen of the world in your life.
Some people seem to be content with being followers. And maybe that's necessary for the stars/leaders. I can't deny however, that the saddens me every time I see someone not striving for their full potential.
So, I say this with hesitation and possibly temporary regret. I have made a choice to focus my energies inward. I am going to make the assumption that I have put in my time making others stars and now it is time to be a star myself. I am sure this will irritate some people and I am sure that some people think I'm being preposterous as they think I am a star already, but in the immortal words of a taunting junior high student...
"Too bad, So sad"
And in the words of the Black Eyed Peas...
"Imma be spreadin' my wings, Imma be doin' my thang"
Yeah, I really shoul've posted the Blakc Eyed Peas vid instead of Paris ...blech
