In life we are all obsessed by titles. They are expected to maintain order and eliminate chaos. A title can decide where you are assigned to sit in the office all the way to who you call in a crisis. But this doesn't mean the title accurately describes the person in the role. Someone may have the title of a supervisor but lacks the experience to supervise , just as a friend may have the title as such but doesn't do the work to be called just that.
I started thinking about how much weight I put on titles in my life and realized that some people, including myself didn't deserve the title I gave them. I also realized that some people just want the accolades without doing anything to deserve or keep it.
So what does this mean? I guess it goes back to that old saying of don't judge a book by its cover. Sometimes before you can decide who's what in your life you have to see them in action or better yet not in action.
