It's easy to be influenced by the opinions of others. We all are. We're social animals, and we like to feel like we're part of a group. That's why so many people follow the crowd because it seems safer than venturing off on your own.

In addition, a lot of people decide to go the path of least resistance. They don't want to swim upstream, so they go with the flow and follow the crowd. This way, it seems like their life is easier than it could be because they don't challenge themselves.

It is also said that there is safety in numbers. That could be another reason why a lot of people follow the crowd when it comes to deciding their life's direction. We want to take the safe path, and the path that has more people seems to be the safer one to take.

But if you want to be successful in your life, you should chart your own path rather than just blindly following the crowd. Here are some reasons why you should do so:

You need to listen to your own heart's desire and learn to ignore the so-called advice from family, friends and society in general. You will never be happy if you don't listen to yourself.

We all have our own ideas of what success is and how we want to achieve it. So, don't let anyone else define your success but yourself.

Remember that we have only one life and life is short. So decide what you want from your life and chart your own path to achieve it.
