It is easy to see when a man or a woman has a purpose. They have a self-contained mission statement that guides them through life and around obstacles and diversions.<\/p>\n
Some may get their purpose from others, while some seem to work out their purposes in life by trial and error until they get it right.<\/p>\n
I am not going to judge whether it is better to follow a leader or to develop your own leadership. That is an individual decision and it can’t even be judged by the final results.<\/p>\n
