Who Is Anointed?

It occurred to me that some people come into this world destined to leave a big footprint.

Really now, think about it. If you read biographies, or follow the lives of particular world movers and shakers... you have to agree that many of them seem to know there were no limits to what they might do with their life. These realizations seem to come early in life. Many broke the mold from which other people came before them to do things nobody in that field had done before.

I'm being vague, so let me try one example (but there are hundreds or thousands).

Bono for one. Here is a guy that knew he was a star long before he was one, and spent his time preparing for it when stardom came. Say what you will about his ego, etc. (BTW rock stars without egos are called singer-songwriters), Bono also broke the mold for what rock stars do. The man is an influence on the world political stage in the humanitarian sense.

Compare that with Elvis (my real daddy in case your just tuning in) who was instructed to say "gosh mam, I'm just a simple entertainer, I don't know nothing about all that" whenever asked about anything of any substance by the press. I'm not saying E didn't make it big, just that he was Rock Star 1.o I suspect Bono is in the 3.x somewhere.

Think of someone you admire that really took off in a big international way. If you learn their history, you often find they hit the ground running, shot themselves from a cannon at an early age, to become the adult human they are. And this begs the question: Are Some People Born to Change the World?
