There is so much comfort in staying with the crowd - following their dictates and falling in line with their creed. You are accepted by the group. You are safe. But the moment you step out of the group's boundary, you are on your own. Alone, without a 'valuable' support, you take your first faltering steps away from your comfort zone, into the unsual road to your destinies and relevance. It's a lonely road, filled with uncertainties and discomfort. But it is the only road there is that leads to true happiness and a life of impact. Only an inner strength can keep you passionate and enthusiastic on this road less travelled by men. Only a staying power beyond the ordinary can keep your eyes on the prize.
If you constantly avoid the lonely road, you will be insulated from the shame that comes with staying 'against' the crowd. But you will also neither possss the joy of living your dream nor the glory of a major accomplishment.
Are you on the lonely road?
Those who have survived the lonely road to reach their destinies should remember to make the lonely road less painful to those who are on it. Be a helper of destinies.
