It's lonely at the top. When you strive to live a life of excellence and discover your true self, you will find your true self and you'll achieve excellence but you'll also find you have no peers. You will leave your friends behind and discover most people have little or nothing to offer.

I've never found my tribe. I don't think I have one. I'm a fierce individualist, and there are others, but by our nature we remain lone wolves.

I don't know how to rise above the average life and yet still remain part of the average world. I don't know if it can be done. Anytime I try to fit in or be 'normal' I find I'm repelled by it.

So I walk the lone wolf path, filled with tremendous gratitude and fulfillment, because I embrace the fact that I'm just built different. I don't need anyone to understand, thank God, because most couldn't if they tried.
