Fall brings about change. It is a good time to reassess your life and figure out who (and what) you need to purge to maintain a healthy lifestyle. There are 4 types of people in this world: Towers, Truckers, Trailers, and Tankers. As you progress up the Hill of Success, who are the key players in your Convoy?
Towers lead the way. If necessary, they will tow Truckers. Towers are your leaders, motivators, muses, and do-gooders. Dr. Tameka Taylor, a diversity consultant, is an example of someone who doesn’t talk about what she is going to do. Instead, she just does it. She is a walking, living example of maximizing your potential in life. Kimberly Wilson, the creator and founder of tranquil space, is another person to emulate.
Truckers are strivers who keep it moving until they get stuck, skid off the road, experience problems, or run out of gas. They rely on Towers to put them back on the right path. Truckers also allow Trailers to hitch on to them, but they have to know when to unhitch them because it is hard to move up the Hill of Success with excess weight that pulls you down.
Trailers rely on Truckers to move them since they are not mobile on their own. Some trailers progress and become Truckers, while others stay stagnant. They start out with little weight and over time, they weigh down Truckers.
Tankers tank the Convoy. They are destructive, offer no benefits, and should be avoided at all costs. They come in the form of negative people and thoughts, drugs, abuse, greed, deception, immorality, etc.
Savionaires are not Tankers. Some new savionaires are Truckers-In-Training, while others are Truckers wanting to become Towers so that they can become a positive example to others. Keep in mind that the goal is to build your Convoy with like-minded drivers who are moving in the same direction and on the same path as you. Honk! Honk!
Thema’s Tip: I have 3 Towers in my Convoy and many Truckers. I constantly make sure that we are all going in the same direction and on the same path. Who is in your Convoy?
