It’s great to have the support of others when making difficult decisions. Knowing there are those around us who understand our situation can make it easier to choose and help us find the right way forward. But sometimes we may make a decision nobody else agrees with. Perhaps there is something they don’t want to face, or they feel they know the situation better than we do and have a more effective solution than we’ve chosen. Or they may simply dislike the direction we want to travel. We don’t need agreement or support for any decisions we make, and we don’t have follow everyone else if we want to turn another way. We are the only ones who know ourselves and our situation completely and are perfectly capable of making excellent choices. However, in a difficult situation where the road ahead may have serious complications, if our decision doesn’t go along with what others want, we may stand alone. It’s not easy to be the only one who wants to go in a different direction and if we’re criticized because of our choice we may lose some personal connections. We should always be true to what is most important to us and value the standards and choices we make. If we differ from those around us we are strong and confident enough to take any push back that comes our way. Our lives belong completely to us and we can live them any way we desire. We can make our dreams come true by choosing the roads that take us to them, even if we must go alone.
People are often most comfortable around others who are like them. If we’re different, the pressure to conform may be great. It will always be easier to go along with those around us than to forge our own path forward. There is comfort in the herd but we can never completely be ourselves if we’re simply doing what everyone else is doing. Breaking away and taking our own personal road is the only way to reach our goals and make our dreams come true. We don’t need to worry about being alone. We know what we want and where we want to go, and nothing can stop us from finding success.
Everyone defines success their own way. For some it’s simply getting through the day without trouble. For others it means to reach for the highest peak possible. The ideas of others belong to them and need not become ours unless we want them. There are infinite possibilities in every life and we can decide where our priorities lie and what is most important to us. We can make any decisions we like and take any road we desire. There may be others traveling with us or we may take a solo journey. In either case, our determination and courage will take us to the destinations we choose and we’ll find the success we seek.
Today if you’re standing alone because you’ve chosen a path others don’t want to take, be confident. You know where you want to go and you have everything you need to move forward. You have endless potential and nothing is out of reach. Have courage, and remember how wise and strong you are. You can do anything. All your dreams are possible and you can make them come true.
