There will always be people pursuing the same goal as you but just because they are working towards the same goal doesn’t mean that how they reach it and the end result will be the same. For example, if Ms. Robyn Rihanna Fenty had decided to stay in her own lane, we would never have been gifted the magnificence that is Fenty Beauty. She could’ve easily said “how can I compete with popular brands like Mac and Anastasia Beverly Hills” but instead she knew something important— she is valuable. Now, her multi-billion dollar makeup empire is selling out faster than it takes to boil an egg and competing makeup brands are rushing to keep up. Life and success are about taking risks and having faith that what you have to offer to the world is valuable. No one will believe in you like you believe in you!
No one has ever become successful by staying in their own lane. Point. Blank. Period. They haven’t! When we tell ourselves to stay in our own lane, deep down what we are really saying is that we don’t have what it takes to be more. Staying in our lane is easy when we are already being burdened with self-doubt and insecurity. In 2018, make an effort to stop making excuses and wander out of your lane. You may be pleasantly surprised by what is waiting for you!
