A Man Unafraid To Walk Alone Is A Man Worth Following

prepmanagementinc • January 11, 2022

When it comes down to it, man’s entire existence is based two things:

Paradigm, how he sees the world

& values, how he chooses to act in and upon it.

Most men do not walk alone because they don’t believe

 that their cause, idea or philosophy is good enough to walk a lonely path with. 

As a child, I was extremely social.

I hated doing things alone. 

I was afraid of loneliness. I loved being around people

At the same time, I enjoyed certain aspects of it.

I was awkwardly comfortable with silence in the presence of others. 

Writing in my journal brought me peace. 

Working out in the park early in the morning was solitude. 

Meditating through prayer was therapeutic. 

As I’ve grown older, I realize why I needed the presence of others so much in my life.

It wasn’t so much that I needed people, 

So much as it was not knowing myself. 

When you look at great leaders, thinkers and societal architects there is only one trait that connects them:  It’s an unwavering belief in their chosen path. An unyielding belief in one’s self and with it: A willingness to do what they feel is right  Even if the consensus does not agree. 

The most dangerous man in the world is the man who sees the world as he believes it should be and walks toward without fear of reproach. 

A man unafraid to walk alone is a man worth following.

We are always in a rush. I've lived in the fastest place in America in New York & the slowest in Indiana, and for all of the socio-economic & geopolitical differences the people inhabiting these two places have one thing in common: the need to get on to the next as soon as possible.

Imagination is the key to unlocking a world of possibilities in life. It cannot, however, exist where scarcity thrives. The moment you believe you’re capable of making the best of a situation, you’ve already won. The moment you’ve accepted defeat, you’ve lost. The power of imagination is present in both instances.

Value and vanity are two factors that can be used to look at in any situation to better understand the context of a story, which ultimately helps me make better decisions.
