What are you doing when you’re being a trailblazer?
Trail blazing, literally, is the act of marking or “blazing” a know trail, so that other travelers can follow the path.
It’s not just finding a new path. It’s at least two things.
- Finding a suitable path that serves the people who need it – it’s traversable and takes us where we need to go.
- Show others how to follow the path correctly.
Find the right path. Show others.
It’s only in caring for those around you that you’ve become a trailblazer.
And it’s only in finding a path that people need that you’ve been a worthy trailblazer.
Think deeply about the trails you blaze, why you blaze them, and how you’re helping others to find them.
