Why would you follow someone else's path when you can create your own for others to follow. That is a concept presented in the quote “Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Some people who exemplify this quote are “The Notorious” Conor McGregor, President Donald J. Trump, and myself.

I have also traveled to Canada, Germany, France, and Mongolia. A lot of people I know who live in the states have never even left their state let alone their hometown or city. Myself on the other hand has been to more than 35 states. Thus, I would consider the way which I live my life unlike any other in the sense that I have so many different values, beliefs, and behaviors that I do not follow anyone.
