Why Following Trends Can Hold You Back

‘... it’s better to rock what actaully suits you, rather than what everyone else is doing just because it’s ‘in.’ Don’t follow trends if they don’t look good on you. Dare to think for yourself and be honest about what you see in the mirror.’– Amber Rose

You know yourself better than anyone else. You know what you want to achieve in your life.

Just because everyone else is doing something doesn’t make it right. If you do not know why people are doing what they are doing, do not do it. Why is that? Because you do not know where they are going. You don’t even know why they are doing what they are doing.

There is a gap between where you are and where you want to be. You are the only person who is going to narrow it. No one is going to narrow it for you.

If where you are is not working for you, you can beat your own path for yourself. Do not do what others are doing. Do what works, not what is popular.

Because you are not here to follow people. You are here to follow yourself, to beat your path, to make a difference, to change the world. Do not be scared. Now go beat your own path.

Think About These Things

Think. Think about what? Thing about things. Because we are thinkers. We never stop thinking. Why not think about good things?

Think about yourself. Ask yourself, ‘What am I doing here? Am I growing?’

Think about love. Ask yourself, ‘Am I in love with myself?’

Think about change. Ask yourself, ‘What does change mean to me?’ Remember, to change where you are, you have got to change how you see yourself.

Think about your friends. Ask yourself, ‘Am I with the right people?’

Think about your future. Ask yourself, ‘Am I preparing for my future? What am I doing right now to secure my future?’

Think about the world. Ask yourself, ‘What am I doing right now to make the world a better place? Am I adding value to the world, or am I stealing from the world?’

The question is, ‘What are you thinking about right now?’
