Why You Should Choose Your Path and Not Follow Others

You are not here to follow others. You are here to choose your own path. You are here to choose your own life, your work.

You are not going to get to where you are going if you do not have the courage to choose your path.

Choose your path. Know what you want. Know where you are. Know what is going on around you. Know where you are going. And know how you are going to get there.

Do not wait for anyone. The person you are waiting for is you. Take care of your path. Do not give your life away.

Do not wait for anyone to rescue you. Because no one is coming to rescue you. If you want to find peace, real peace, internal peace, you have got to be ‘flexible but strategic.’

Why is that? Because ‘there is no longer one path to success.’

How To Keep Growing

Growth never stops. It is a journey. If you want to keep growing, you must keep doing.

You must keep becoming. You must keep challenging yourself. Because we get better when we do more, when we focus on what is really important to us.

Do things that you have not done before. That is where learning is.

Do not settle for less. Doing less is not a strategy. It is going to keep you where you are.

To grow yourself, to expand your life, according to Marthy Neumeier, ‘ … always aim slightly beyond your current abilities. … Focus on the metaskills that will drive your professional success.’

And you can do that. All you need is focus. When you focus on what you are doing, you can do more than you are doing right now.

Just get out of your safe zone. Take on things that are not within your safe zone. If you really want to get to your next level, according to Marthy Neumeier, ‘take on projects and responsibilities that lie outside your comfort zone.’
