Today’s Thought: Who Are You Following?

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. ~ Henry David Thoreau

NOTE: Sometimes we get caught up with the crowd. We’re pulled along by public opinion, cultural trends, and media attention. We lose sight of where we were going and are dragged along with the prevailing trend. It takes courage to stop and step away and evaluate whether or not riding with the crowd is the wise choice. You may be call eccentric, weird, or a rebel. If so, you’ll joy a long list of people who made a difference because they chose to listen to their own drummer.
