Road Less Traveled
One of the most beautiful things about us as humans is that we’re all different. We are all born asking different questions. We have different dreams and ideals, and we each come with our own set of talents and passions that, hopefully, we use for the better in our short time here on earth. Somewhere along the line, most of us learn to conform and fit in; to want what we’re expected to want, and to take the most traveled path into what is defined for us as “success.” But other people take a different route, risking failure or perhaps lack of acceptance. They have taken the road less traveled by and it has, indeed, made all the difference. I’ve set out on a mission to find twelve of these remarkable people in twelve months. I want to know what makes them tick ... what inspires them and how they ended up on that unchartered path. Has it been worth it? Would they change it? What can I learn from them? What does the world have to learn from them? I’m about to find out.
