Are You A PILLAR? Or Just A Piece?

Are You A PILLAR?  Or Just A Piece?

In the rough and tumble world of the NBA in the United States, the road to stardom is plotted on the assumption if one is deemed a PILLAR [or a FRANCHISE player] or just another PIECE as part of the rotation.  From a $$$$$ perspective, a player tagged and pegged as a PIECE can dream of an annual contract around $2 million whereas a PILLAR or FRANCHISE PLAYER can look for a 'MAX DEAL' anywhere north of $150 million.  In life, Are You A PILLAR?  Or Just A Piece❓❓❓

In our daily life, HOW are we?  WHERE are we in that mammoth crowd?  Are you just another needle in a haystack?  Or do you somehow play a specific role with a deliverable?  We may NOT be that aware but in life, there are PILLARS across, encompassing HEALTH, MONEY, HAPPINESS and RELATIONSHIPS.  Miss one pillar and likely you can't cover the whole nine years in life📌📌📌

Oh, how does it feel to be in the middle of a mammoth crowd?  Overwhelming?  Suffocating?  But that's NOT a concern at all.  The challenging question is. do you have any expected or defined ROLE within that mammoth crowd?  OR are you just contented to be another piece of the whole ensemble?  NOT bad to be a piece but let's think about it, ISN'T it a waste of our presence if we ever end up just another PIECE⏳⏳⏳

The thing is, while we are NOT forced to take on any role in life that becomes compulsory, wouldn't our presence and existence be more impactful?  Impactful NOT from a high-flyer perspective but rather just taking on that mantle of responsibility in life where you got your own deliverable, within your capability.  Sadly, I've seen able and capable bodies in life who would manifest that laid-back attitude where they would rather just watch✅✅✅

Yesirreeeeeee, allow me to state the obvious. like it or not, we got to make a STATEMENT in life, NOT literally but in terms of one's impactful presence in life.  Whether it pertains to your relationship with your partner/spouse, your family and loved ones, within your workplace or within your entrepreneurial initiatives, you got to be a PILLAR.  Bluntly, if you end up just as another PIECE, my equally blunt question is:  IS YOUR LIFE WORTH IT IF YOU'RE JUST A PIECE INSTEAD OF A PILLAR❓❓❓
