I'm starting to see that there are two main types of people in the world, catalysts and reactors. Catalysts are the self-reliant, the individuals that live creatively according to their own rules and inspire others. I'm sure everybody knows people like that. The minority who make things happen. Reactors are people who do just that, react to stimulus instead of command it. Constantly seeking outside for more labels and dogmatic beliefs to apply to themselves, waiting for happiness and answers to come from others. Most people are reactors, which is why humanity tends to have such a sheep-like nature.
The greatest service you can do the world is become a catalyst if you aren't already. Instead of preaching, just live your life in your own unique way; that will inspire others. The example is a far greater influence than the word. As I'm sure you have heard many times, "be the change you want to see in the world". For those like myself who are not natural catalysts, it takes work. But I believe anybody can be an inspiration if they wish.
