Do Not Follow The Crowd
How often do we follow the crowd not because it aligns with our own beliefs and goals, but simply because it's what everyone else is doing? Musashi had a unique approach to everything he did, daring to be different.
You see from the time we were kids we're taught that the safest way to live is by following the same path as everyone else. We worry about what others might think or say. We don't want to be judged or criticized, so we play it safe by blending in. But the people who make a difference in the world are always the ones who are brave enough to be themselves.
