Creating a path is often a difficult thing, it comes with so many discouragements. From 'do I even know what I am doing?' to 'I guess I am not fit for this task' are a few of the many intimidating questions. How do you know a place is a path? Of course it always shows after many people's footprint has continually moved to and fro that place. How did the first person begin? Maybe instinct, encouragement, or daring of some sought but it finally worked out.
Life is like being left in the middle of the jungle for you to clear yourself out? Of course from here you know, creating your path is entirely left for you. You keep on staying in procrastination and the jungle gets thicker and thicker, at such a point, the workload becomes even much greater. You can't tell what's on the other side until you make a move. From my personal experience I can say that fear and self doubt is not always easy to overcome. When I started off to create a business, I could remember how difficult it was to launch it.
I was so surprised how I kept procrastinating on this, how will the environment look like, will this business even succeed? That's always our first mistake question. When you understand the ethics of staying in a thing long enough to establish the needed success, you will definitely understand how paths are created. People have walked there over and over again. This continual walking will warn off the weeds that were surrounding that place.

Let's just consider the weeds to be those failure stories or perhaps surrounding doubts and fear. There is nothing that is consistently done that fails to yield its natural result. Many people fail to stay on a track long enough to realize the pending success. Take for instance, what happens when a track that was once walked is no longer used. The weeds grow back and before you know it, it will seem there was never a path there.
You may not be the best, yet if you can learn the secret of staying long enough you are likely to meet up with success. Time reveals a lot, many companies and businesses have transitioned to something greater just because they kept their path very active. The idea here is, when you are known make sure you don't fade away, instead, transition to something better. Another thing you must understand is this, without this transitioning you are likely not to grow. This may not necessarily mean a new business but applying something new.

Take for instance, you are known for the ice cream business (a small kiosk). You have done it for a while. At the start of course we know you struggled to get customer attention. Things later balanced through your consistency yet you need to understand that there is still a long way to go. Assuming you were selling in little cups, you will start thinking of having to use plates. The idea here is to attract new suitors to your business. Growth is about transitioning and keeping your path weedless is determined by how you continually walk it.
Staying is one thing, staying long enough is another. 'Any path well walked is weedless'---dani-asi. This is what I am trying to achieve overtime. How can I create something that stands the test of time? First is showing consistency before pitching my tenth of expansion. As I have earlier said in my recent articles this year. There is nothing like a new year resolution, I am back to work or should I say, continuing from where I stopped. The idea is simple, I want to create a financial path for myself and anything good will demand a reasonable time.
To conclude, let me add, making a statement is a matter of not throwing in the towel. As individuals, we have to create our paths knowing fully well how important it is if we wish to ascertain financial security. Dare something and consistently work on it. The light will soon shine on you.
