Looking at life differently..

Here is a scenario. You board a train with hundreds of others passengers. The train is heading towards Los Angeles. The obvious thing that will happen is that you will end up in Los Angeles with everyone else. Of course, what won’t happen is that you ALONE won’t reach Seattle magically. That seems logical. However, while people accept what I just said, in real life, they expect exactly the opposite. They follow the crowd and do exactly what everyone else is doing because it seems right. In their dreams, though, they want to reach a special destination because they are special. Go figure!
If you want to reach a special place in life, you have no option but to look at life differently and act differently!
Casanova said it beautifully – “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail”
Have a nice morning there.
