Watching, watching
At any point in time, you can classify yourself as a watcher or a doer. The classification is fluid but everyone believes that one can, if the need arises, become a doer. This is not to say being a doer is better. It is just the other mode of existence away from the default mode. When we say that X is a born leader, we're actually saying X's default mode is doer and not watcher.
When X is called a leader, it means X does things more often than be watches things.
Many watchers imagine themselves to be doers waiting for the stars to align but that is just so much bull. They're squeamish about not being able to watch themselves in action. They are being asked to step outside their normal function. Watching confers anonymity and an "innocent bystander" conscience free of fear.
So the gazillion dollar question when faced with a situation is - am I going to be a watcher or a doer ? - and therein lies the nub of your life.
