"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail."- Ralph Waldo Emerson
This quote means you should be a leader, not a follower. Don't go where others have been, make your own path. Try to encourage yourself to go where no other has been. Instead of following another path, go where nobody has gone. Be original, show people things they've never seen.
This quote relates to many people. Sometimes, you go down an already walked path without even knowing. Just try to create new things. You should try to be the first to discover something new. Live your life based on what you want, not on a life that was already lived.
But, following somebody's footsteps isn't always wrong. That person may be an influence, but just know it isn't always exciting to just follow a trail of footsteps. It's almost like going on a treasure hunt. If you see footsteps you won't normally follow it, because that path was already used. The prize was already taken, so you have to make your own path. Making your own path may be intimidating, but you are certain to walk out a better person, with more knowledge.
