PATHS (BURLINGTON, NC)

In life, just like in leadership, you either choose to follow the path created by others (learning) OR you create a path that others will follow (legacy).

Dr. Joel Medley

This path did not always exist. I got tired of walking through the high grass on the way to my special spot of reflection and prayer, so I decided to make the path. In slowing my walk to that place, you can see many different animal tracks revealing that others have taken it too.

In life, just like in leadership, you either choose to follow the path created by others (learning) OR you create a path that others will follow (legacy). It takes wisdom to decide correctly depending on your current circumstance. You cannot always be a "trailblazer" because there is much for each of us to learn. It is only after you have learned and experienced something special that you can begin leaving a legacy that others will follow.

Find your place of reflection and prayer. Once you find it, the learning and legacy will naturally come together. Commit to doing that today!
