Lay out your own path

Happy Thursday everyone!

When you think of the phrase "Lay our your own path", what does that mean to you? Check out this week's add promoting travel to Peru: 

I have spent some time reflecting on the quote in this week's Peruvian ad and I have had quite a few different thoughts about it. I think that laying out your own path means doing what you want. Last week I wrote about "daring to imagine more", and I think that laying out your own path is the next step in the process to freedom and independence. It means choosing which direction you want to lead your life in, not following the direction that someone else has laid out for you. But more than that, it also means undertaking the steps to figure out which decisions need to be made and when, and not relying on other people to hold your hand and help you down this crazy path called life. Society may dictate how certain things should be done, but you ultimately have the power to decide what (and how) you are going to do things. This is not to say that we should all go against everything that has already been established - not at all. But it means that if you want to wear red or black (or any other colour) at your wedding instead of white, go ahead and do it! And if you want to travel the world and believe that that is how you are going to make a difference, but having an impact on people's lives one smile at a time, then all the power to you.

Until next week, have a great one!
