I've found that trying to be like everyone else, do what others do and follow others 'guaranteed path' to 'so-called success' never really works for me. I have found my best strategy is to authentically be me, listen within and follow it....and then to treat and connect with others - wherever I can - personally, personably and individually.

About This Quote

I've found that trying to be like everyone else, do what others do and follow others 'guaranteed path' to 'so-called success' never really works for me. I have found my best strategy is to authentically be me, listen within and follow it....and then to treat and connect with others - wherever I can - personally, personably and individually. This quote says a lot about the difference between being a fake and being genuine. Being genuine means being true to who you are as an individual.

It means being true to your own ideas and principles, not those of other people. In other words, it means individuality. And, as you can see from this quote, individuality has a positive effect on the world as a whole as well as the personal life of every single one of us.
