Wisdom for the Path

Amazing these things we call paths. Paths are created. The more people walk on a path the harder it gets. Paths are ways of thinking and behaving and doing and being. Paths are patterns. Paths are habits. And most of all paths are your unique strengths.

Oh, The Places You'll Go!

~Dr. Seuss

Just follow the yellow brick road.

~Glinda

I’ve finally decided my future lies beyond the yellow brick road.

Every man has his own vocation. Talent is the call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him… He is like a ship in a river; he runs against obstructions on every side but one; on that side all obstruction is taken away and he sweeps serenely over a deepening channel into an infinite sea.

~Ralph Waldo Emerson

Never change for the mainstream – stay in your lane, and if you’re talented and resilient enough the mainstream will come to you.

~Russell Simmons

If you aren’t sure what to do, just take a tiny step – a tiny baby step…Even if you don’t know the exact path to success – take a baby step. You may not know the optimal path to get where you are bound to go, but your boots are on and you’re going… And something will come of that. You’ll get some feedback and take the next step. If it’s the wrong direction, no worries…And then you’ll take another step, which might lead you to a person who can help or to a resource you didn’t even know existed. Keep the steps as tiny as they need to be as you feel your way.

~Vishen Lakhiani

Imagine a map – its network of highways and byways, meandering rural roads, and five-lane freeways all leading to potentially interesting destinations. Without a sense of where you want to go, it’s overwhelming. However if you know your destination is Los Angeles, then you can focus on the roads that will take you there.

~Johnson O’Conner Research Foundation

No one paves the road for you. You have to create your own path. If you believe in your dreams, embrace what makes you different and bet on yourself, the destination will be greater than you ever imagined.

~Cris Abrego, Reality Show Producer, author of Make It A Reality

Wisdom is knowing the right path to take… Integrity is taking it.

~Mac Anderson, founder of Successories

When I run after what I think I want, my days are a furnace of distress and anxiety; If I sit in my own place of patience, what I need flows to me, and without any pain. From this I understand that what I want also wants me, is looking for me and attracting me. There is a great secret in this for anyone who can grasp it.

~Rumi

There are no traffic jams along the extra mile.

~Roger Staubach

The reason that so few people are financially independent today is that they place many negative roadblocks in their heads. Becoming wealthy is, in fact, a mind game.

The person who clears the path ultimately controls its direction, just as the canvas shapes the painting.

~Ryan Holiday

"Leader" is Indo-European word that is derived from two words. The first part - "lea" means path, and the second part - "der" - means finder. A leader is a pathfinder. Leaders find the path. They are readers of the signs and clues. They see and show the way.

~Kevin Hall, from Aspire

The path to the true self lies in the acceptance of and service to the larger “we”.

There are two distinct kinds of successful people. There are what I call river people and the goal people.

~Earl Nightingale

We’ve been trained to go A to B in our lives. The champion goes to B first, illuminates a pathway from B back to A that pops like a runway at night. Illuminating this pathway working in reverse is the key to successful planning. Go B to A then back A to B.

Wherever you go, there you are.
