Quote of the Week: On Paths & Trails

Quote of the Week subscriber, Kathy Peppers is the Business Office Manager at Lake Martin Community Hospital in Dadeville, Alabama.   She hangs many of the quotes she receives from us outside the door of her office.  People stop to read them.  People seem to learn from them.  Some people even act differently – in a positive way.  And other people have noticed the difference.

Another sign of impact and engagement… one of Kathy’s team members brought in a quote she had received from a friend. Kathy did two things.  She posted the quote on her wall and she sent it to me.

Thank you, Kathy.  I was thrilled to receive it.  And as it turns out, it’s a perfect segue from last week’s Quote of the Week for MLK Day.  Dr. King didn’t like the path we were on – didn’t like where it was leading.  He had a dream of something different and better.  And so he got off the path.  And left a trail.

There are certainly times that it is more efficient, more logical to follow a path that’s already in place.  And then there are other times….

When do you think it’s a good idea to get off the current path to forge a new trail?

The paths you are on right now…which ones should you stay on?  Which ones should you leave?

Tomorrow we will post a few ideas on this in:   “10 Times To Get Off the Path”.
