Means to – Walk your own path. Blaze your OWN trail. Most people are terrified of walking their own path. Walking your own path is very empowering, there’s a reason most people prefer to follow the Herd..
The Reasons:
First, walking your own path means you might be..REJECTED..by others. You will be gossiped about, thought of in disparaging ways..like – A Kook, oddball, mentally disturbed, even a FOOL! You will be outright alienated and estranged, cast-out from other people who most times are those who you are closest to..like your family, or co-workers. They will reject you in many hurtful ways.
As a human species, we’re biologically programmed to seek approval, because acceptance EQUALS SURVIVAL! Inevitably, doing anything that may cause us to be rejected sets off those deep, primal alarm bells and raises the hairs on the back of our necks.
Second, Most avoid walking their own path is that it is A-HELL-OF-A-LOT-OF WORK. There is no one giving you a road map, a set of rules, or instructions that will tell you WHAT to DO. YOU have to be responsible for figuring it ALL out from scratch. It kinda feels like stumbling through the dark in a room full of sharp objects. You will make many mistakes! You will fall flat and land smack bang on your face! You will feel embarrassed, and quite overwhelmed, and a lot of other uncomfortable emotions that come with doing something completely RADICAL! And on a mental and emotional level, most people see that. Most understand on some superficial level, the consequences and therefore prefer the cozy, safe comfortable, and Bland Mediocrity of society-prescribed way of living.
Third, It’s just way too much RESPONSIBILITY! When you take your own path into your own hands, YOU are responsible! There’s NO-ONE to blame, point the finger at, whine about, or feel victimized by! You are the worker, boss, innovator, and creator..ALL-IN-ONE! Instead of someone else holding all the cards, YOU hold ALL the cards, and it’s ultimately YOUR problem if you wind up feeling shitty with what to do. Most people can’t handle that.
Most humans like the comfy confines of their “Cages”, because it makes them feel “Justified”, about feeling like a “Poor little victim of life”. It’s much easier to dump the burden onto someone else’s shoulders and feel “Self-Righteously Empowered” through Blame.
Fourth, People just don’t know where to start. Most don’t even know that there IS another path..To begin with. Most humans believe the ONLY way to know you’re walking the “Proper” path is to get the “Approval” of others..That are walking the SAME-SAFE-PRE-APPROVED path.
A lone Wolf – Is defined as a person (or animal) who prefers to spend time alone. Rather than being in a group..of (Sheep). Don’t walk a path just because you fell into it, and it’s – Good-Enough. Don’t walk a path that you feel a sense of enslaved duty towards because it’s what you “Need To Be” according to dominant sociocultural standards
LOVE yourself..and be your own best friend! Embracing the path of the Lone Wolf is taking responsibility for your own LIFE! Yes, it can get lonely! Know Yourself! Strive to know your own strengths AND weaknesses. Self-Discover! Lao Tzu – Quote: “He who knows others is wise. He who knows himself is enlightened”.
When you know yourself you can truly embrace – Who you are, and walk YOUR OWN PATH..With True CONFIDENCE!
BE A LONE WOLF!!
