Having a rather strong stubborn streak, I am always ready to defend my reasons to take the road less travelled. As human beings, it is in our nature to follow paths that we are most familiar with, both because we don’t want to encounter problems in the unexpected, and because generally we don’t like to experience too much change if we don’t have to. There is definitely a level of comfort and security in following the footsteps of others in all area of your life. It is nice to be guided by others and to avoid any kind of unnecessary bumps along the way. But, is this way always the best way? I don’t think so! It takes a certain type of nerve to bite the bullet and go out on your own, no matter what specific thing you are encountering. For a little inspiration, here are some reasons to take the road less travelled!
