Someone noted something about me today – I don’t have the personality of being a consultant. Meaning, I don’t have the personality where I’m actively approaching others and seeking approval from others.

It is by definition that a good consultant is always looking for opportunities by being extremely social, by getting people to like them, to use their type-A personality to get friends. The proverbial “ass kisser.” Apparently I seem more like the type who’s more content to just ‘expect’ things to come to me. But I am. Not because I’m lazy and don’t work for what I want, but because something within me innately believes that what I naturally deserve things that that I want and work towards – and it’s not out of unfounded arrogance. It’s just a natural thing that I honestly believe in. It’s not that I don’t believe in hard work; it’s that if I put in the hard work, I expect that I’ll get something in return. Whereas others may shrug and say “oh well” in realization that there’s no reward at the end of the day, I’ll stomp my feet and demand justice when I don’t get it.
