One of the most neglected aspects of life is learning to lead. True leadership demands moving out before others, even when things look treacherous. This play is not for Everyone. But then again, not everyone goes after his or her dreams. But those who do must know the feeling of being a forerunner. The English dictionary defines a forerunner as one who is a predecessor or one who goes ahead of others. In the sport of skiing, there are those who test the course before the other skiers complete in a race. 

As a tester or forerunner, you will find out firsthand where the rough spots are on the course before anyone else does. 

When you have a passion for something and a great idea, external and internal forces daring you to move forward and take action, will confront you. Whether you pursue them or not is up to you. 

But understand this, your plans will never develop if you are unwilling to solidify the mind-set of a forerunner. I believe that everyone has the ability to be a forerunner in some area of calling. In His infinite wisdom, God gave all of us an invitation to greatness.  However,  we do not all respond accordingly to this invite because we soon discover that a steep price comes along with it. When your dream becomes bigger than the price you have to pay, then you will become a forerunner. 

Once you get to the place that you realize how impactful you can be in the lives of others by hunting down you dream, you will become a forerunner. 

We may not become a forerunner in every career field, but certain aspects of life will trigger something inside to cause us to move out and start gaining ground in that arena. Begin to identify areas that you can launch out and run the play of a forerunner.  As a blazoner, you will face your share of criticism simply because others find it hard to comprehend whey you are so compelled to do business on the high seas while they remain in their comfort zones on shore.
