Are you a shepherd?

“There are two types of people in the world, sheep and Shepherds. Sheep feel like they have a level of freedom to roam and graze where they like, but they are ultimately just following the general trend of the flock. Shepherds are independent and set the direction of travel of flocks.” I have made this small speech to my daughter and many others over the years. It is maybe a little simplistic but it makes the point. We need people who do not just ‘go with the flow’ and are programmed to shape the world rather just being influenced by it.

Professional Athletes learn how to be shepherds as it’s essential to their career survival. They have to influence the outcomes of their specific world in the direction of their desires and goals to accumulate wins and financial benefits.

The world is in need of shepherds. People who have what it takes to influence the state of play in their chosen domain of focus.
