Army of 1
1 is the loneliest number, the saying goes. I laugh at that. To stand alone is a powerful stance. The 1 percentile of human beings different enough, creative enough, driven enough, bold enough to take that stance, bare gifts to present to the masses that are other worldly. These people have a light that shines bright, a fire, a passion that burns so deep, it can not be extinguished. They make their own rules, they pivot when obstacles arise. They don’t entertain fear. They fight through the pain and like cream, they rise to the top. They challenge themselves and change the world. They give off an energy that ignites a fire in others that stimulates, motivates and empowers. It takes a remarkable kind of person to be a 1. That’s why its a “lonely” number. It’s a gift, not a curse. The sweat equity 1’s put in, is incomprehensible to most, an extremely rare language only understood by other 1’s. It is a fact indeed, 1 is a lonely number…but only because if it were easy be 1, everyone would be doing it.
