Assignment #19- Quotes to live by- Benjamin Webster

I’ve heard good advice from all kinds of sources. One told to me by my parents in one form or another that has particularly stuck with me is “You do you” and/or “Be loyal to what matters”. It’s not original and most likely is someone’s background screen on their phone or on a gift shop’s mug. However it's told, the core meaning is something that has stuck with me. This world is rife with problems and it's hard to be yourself while handling the pressure. I haven’t always been loyal to what I care about but it's something that I’m going to keep working on. Being yourself and loyal to what matters is something people don’t often do especially leaders who try to people please. This reminds me of another quote “"Even the good leaders make poor decisions, it's the best leaders take responsibility for them."  It's something that I struggle with but when something matters to you, the responsibility needs to be shouldered by you. Leading is something that is tough for everyone and is done perfectly. But at the end of the day when you are loyal and responsible, things will turn out right.
