#374. Find your way or make a way

If you truly want success, there’s only 2 options. You can find an already paved path that suits you, or you can make your own path.

Some people are able to fit a mold. They’re able to walk in the same direction as the rest of the crowd, and have the success that they’ve always wanted. They can work a couple minimum wage jobs, finish college, start a fulfilling career and a family. That’s great. Someone that has a fulfilling career, a family, and everything else they need for a happy life is just as successful as any billionaire entrepreneur that you look up to.

Finding the path that suits you is a road straight to happiness. But, for some people the path isn’t so clear-cut. For those people, success, fulfillment, happiness(whatever you want to call it) is down a path that the general public have never even looked at.

Happiness, to some people, is making a way that fits them like a glove. The American Dream, the stereotypical happy life isn’t the same to these people. Their struggle is having the faith to make their own way. For these people, uncertainty is often their best friend.

Whichever option makes you happy, you must have the courage to pursue it.
