If the crowd knew, there would be no crowded places. If the crowd knew, then being a “creative person” would not seem so freakishly unusual. If the crowd knew, then following them would always lead you to your greatest dreams and accomplishments. The crowd doesn’t know, that’s why the crowded places don’t have what you are looking for.
There are exceptions! When you’re traveling abroad, walking around an unfamiliar city, and you’re searching for a great place to eat, go to the crowded places. It means they have good food. Some chef has discovered her unique love and gift of cuisine creation.
You are a unique phenomenon. Your DNA has never appeared on the planet and once you’re gone, it will never appear again. What does it mean to be one-of-a-kind? It means that there is something in you that can be leveraged and grown into a unique path and purpose if you deepen it. You can’t be copied, and nobody is better at being you than you. Show off, then.
I say, let the crowds build up around you. You be the restaurateur who makes the food everybody loves. You be the YouTube creator that draws a gathering and gets millions of subscribers. You be My Morning Motivator….wait, that’s already been done. How about My Evening Motivator? Well, maybe not that either.
My point is that nobody can say it like you, do it like you, or express it like you. Everyone has fingerprints. Someone discovers theirs, and they simply show them off. Crowds gather to marvel at your fingerprints, never understanding they have them too. Be you, go your path, and watch the crowds gather. They are inspired by something they simply don’t realize they have and fundamentally are.
