The Right Direction

Whatever way you’re going, you’re headed in the right direction to reach your dream.

Your goals are your goals. Your dreams are your dreams. There is no right or wrong way to reach your goals and achieve your dreams. So why is it that everybody seems to know the best way for us to do everything. We start out with our parents teaching us and telling us what to do and how to do it. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, because we need to learn. Then we head off to school and we have educators telling us what to do and how to do it. Again, not a bad thing. We are also faced with peer pressure and we often find ourselves doing what everyone else is doing the way they are doing it to fit in. Again, this isn’t a terrible thing because a little conformity is not a bad thing. From there, we join the workforce and our bosses are telling us what to do and how to do it. When do we get the opportunity to decide what we want to do and how to do it? It’s a challenging question without an easy answer. If we’re fortunate, we’re raised by, and taught by people who will provide us with the skills we need, who then allow us to spread our wings and fly and build upon what they’ve taught us. But it’s never to let to step off in your own direction and make your own road map to reach your goal and achieve your dream. You can do it, turn off the gps the world had given you, crumple up the road map of life you were handed when you were a child and set off on your own adventure to your dreams.
