Do not follow the path. Go where there is no path to begin the trail.
Ashanti proverb
It takes courage, strength and conviction to go against the grain. But if someone hadn´t done it, we wouldn´t have wheat bread, chocolate chip ice cream or radios in our cars. It is often difficult to get other people to follow your train of thought. Stop trying. It´s your train. You are the engineer and the conductor. We usually want and need help, support and comfort when we are doing something new. If we do not get it, so what! Does it mean we should stop what we are doing? Absoulutely not! The path to success is paved with road signs, warning symbols and obstructions. But when you start a new trail equipped with courage, strength and conviction, the only thing that can stop you is you.
