Trailblazer - Don’t go with the flow, Be a flow

 Go With the Flow?

"If it is to be, then it is up to me."  We've all heard this saying. But what does it really mean? Well, it means we must take responsibility for our success or our failure. We must either act on life or life will act on us. We can either go with the flow, which may take us any old place or we can direct the flow and therefore determine our destination. 

If you look at boats sailing on a river, you will notice that if the wind is blowing south, some boats will go with the flow and travel south. Yet there will also be boats that are going north, east, and west. They are not going with the flow but rather are using the flow to go where they want to go. 

You determine where you want to go in life. It may not be easy to go where there is no path, but if you do you'll be the trailblazer.
