When I was a kid, I played sports. My favorite sport was football and I was pretty good at it. Then basketball season came around followed by track. If I told you I was good at basketball I would be lying. Same for track. But I loved being part of a team.

Peer pressure is real. Kids are growing into their bodies. They are being invaded by hormones and their parents are rarely the most understanding people. It’s a confusing time for our young people. Kids join gangs and school groups because they want a sense of belonging.

Some of this flows into adulthood. In the business world we have leaders and followers. We need both. Our best leaders have the heart of a servant and lead with humility. They bring out the best in others.

Always remember that you are an individual with unique talents. Don’t lose yourself for the sake of fitting in with the crowd. Find out who you are and stay true to yourself…
