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

I decided to live out this quote six years ago, and it's been a huge part of my story ever since. Too many people follow everyone else to get to the place that everyone's been. I tend to take a different road. A person living true to their passion always leaves a trail.

The irony of leaving a new trail is that it takes focus. And consistency. And a willingness to roll up your sleeves and fail a hundred times before you get it right. But it's worth it. ⠀

So the next time you have a choice: a new offer, an intriguing deal, a road you've never been on, a business venture you've been praying for, well, do you really want to play it safe? Or step into the frightening unknown of endless possibilities?⠀⠀

If you ask me what I'd do, my advice is always the same. Follow Your Soulheart. And blaze the new trail.⠀
