I always went my own road and on my own legs where I had a mind to go

I'd decided to take the risk, and either I'd succeed or else.

I have at times felt alone, uncertain, without a well-trodden path to follow. Every time I embarked on a new course, there were well-meaning people... who advised against it. I had to learn early on to be comfortable with insecurity and to trust my own judgement on key issues.

. . . it is presumptuous in me to wish to choose my path, because I cannot tell which path is best for me. I must leave it to the Lord, Who knows me, to lead me by the path which is best for me, so that in all things His will may be done.

Choosing to be curious is choosing to be vulnerable because it requires us to surrender to uncertainty.

Embrace your own unlikely journey.

Early in my career...I had to choose between an honest arrogance and a hypercritical humility... I deliberately choose an honest arrogance, and I've never been sorry.

I'll walk where my own nature would be leading. It vexes me to choose another guide.

But in my professional life, I have learned to accept uncertainty and even embrace it.

Let the path become where I choose to walk, and not

otherwise established.

Whenever you can’t decide which path to take, pick the one that produces change.

I have to be cautious, but caution also has its own adventure.

[I]t's human to choose any sort of path into the future rather than face the long road back to what you've left behind.

I will not follow where the path may lead, but I will go where there is no path, and I will leave a trail.
