Motivational Power Quote

 

Make Your Own Path   

“The man who follows the crowd will usually get

no further then the crowd. 

The man who walks alone is likely to find himself

in places no one has ever been.”

Alan Ashley-Pitt     

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

 

Make your own path

 

One of the easiest things to do in any profession is to follow the crowd.

 

At the beginning of the journey it may appear that following the crowd is the safest route to follow because everyone else is doing it.

 

The crowd will never go any further than the vision or the pace of the leader. In following the crowd we lose our identity and follow someone to a destination that they choose.

 

What happen so often in following the crowd is you end up in the wrong place and as a result you have wasted valuable resourses of your time, time your energy and your money.

 

When you look at successful people in any walks of life they make their own path and set their own pace.

 

Step out of the crowd and make your own path. The first few steps may create some anxiety but with each step that you take away from the crowd you gain additional self-confidence.

 

Be a pace setter and make your own path and you will see a much clearer path to follow.

I love it, be a pace setter! I also like running with leaders that are more successful than I . If I am on a group run, I get the the people that are stronger and try to keep up. It pushes you.

Love this one Lou...reminds me of a plaque I have in my workout room saying those who say it can't be done are usually being passed up by someone who can....

Lou, a great example of this today is how many people just follwed and believed what the "media" said. Today, with the internet and proliferation of so many other alternative sources for information, individuals can ferret out the truth on a issue vs. opinion. You have to do the owrk however.

I hope that Alan did not mean the person who sets out on his own will wander aimlessly trying to find the path of success.

Lou,  This is excellent advice.  There is a line in a movie I saw recently that said, "I don't understand why you're trying so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out."  Have a good weekend.
