Doing what you have to do

I know for a fact that my parents taught me to be a thinker, to not simply just go with the flow, but to give thought about what I want and how to get it, what is happening around me and what does it mean. Sometimes I did it the wrong way, sometimes I did it the right way but I’ve always been a thinker and, and to a degree, in many cases I’ve been somewhat selfish. I’ve known what I’ve wanted and when I wanted it. So to me, some coach who at the end of the day is only going to be in my life for a certain period of time, who in the hell is he to tell me how I need to structure what is ultimately going to affect the rest of my life.
