Day 11: The Temptations

Am I a leader or a follower?  This is the question many teenagers are asked by their superiors, but rarely does it come from themselves.  I wonder sometimes though, what am I?

I am both.  A good person should have a bit of both inside.  I have the ability to lead a group or in cases manipulate peoples opinions.  While I also have the ability to be the follower and let others manipulate me almost like a puppet.

The thing is realizing when I must be a leader and when I must be a follower.  Like many things this will take time to get into 'good decision making'.  This can also apply to what people might tell me.  They may say something about someone but in the end it is my decision if I will let them curve my opinions.  I've learned, in fact quiet recently, that I must make my own decisions.  I can't believe every little thing that I hear, and that I should judge for myself.  Whether it be the severity of a teacher or the evil iniquity of a human being.

Maybe I'm speaking out of terms but I feel everyone, including myself, should learn to resistant the temptation to believe everything you hear.
