Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Leaders blaze the trail.
They don't follow the crowd
Leaders try new and different things.
They don’t always conform.
Leaders lead...

And speaking of paths... :

"Two roads diverged in a wood and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
and that has made all the difference."
--Robert Frost

10 SECOND REALITY CHECK

When was the last time YOU took the road less traveled?
When was the last time you risked being different?
Are you willing to take risks to further your vision?

"He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice."
-- Albert Einstein

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Conformity is easy; conformity is non threatening
Conformists DON’T stand out in a crowd either.
Conformists don't make the difference. Leaders do.
Which are you?

SO WHAT WILL YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?

Take the risk of being different
Share your new ideas.
Find a new path... one that is uniquely yours.
Then watch as others follow you.

"Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity."
-- Christopher Morley

(wish I had said that!)

PARTING THOUGHT:

"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it's time to pause and reflect."
-- Mark Twain

Is it time to pause and reflect???
If so, have fun choosing a new path.

Have a great week!
Marsha
