Today I chose to run along the paved road. It was harder and my shoes got soaked from the dew, but in the end my knees didn’t hurt as bad as if I ran on concrete. Others passing by probably thought I was odd for choosing to run in the uncut, wet grass. But for me the less traveled road was the best choice.
How often do we choose to do something because that’s what everyone else does? You take that job because it’s the “right road” to a high paying career. We choose to hang out at places we shouldn’t because everyone else is. We spend our money on the newest and shiniest things so we can keep up with our friends.
Today I want to challenge you to make a different choice. What if you pursued a career because you want to help others even though it might mean making financial sacrifices? What if you spent your time with people and at places that make you a better person and not just another guy or gal that hangs out at the bar with the “in crowd”?
Today I want you to think about taking the road less traveled. We are all unique and that means there might be another path that leads us to being successful. Maybe the path you are on is going in the opposite direction of your dreams and goals.
Are you ready to change directions and pursue your passions instead of the socially accepted standards?
What can you do to start moving in a new direction, on the path that is best for you?
Are you ready to take the less traveled road?
