I’ve been thinking a lot about change and how pioneers of old can be our role models. What is the definition of a pioneer – a person who is first to explore – according to Oxford Dictionary. There have been many pioneers that have impacted my life.

One of the traits I most admire about these individuals is their willingness to step into the dark unknown future and by taking risks and being disciplined. Change can be scary but so rewarding. I find that if I embrace the attitude of “come what may” then I feel more empowered and inspired to explore new avenues and paths.

When pioneering change, you may not have anyone supporting you. That is when you test your heart, might, mind and soul. If you know that you have the ability, then don’t let what anyone says or do stop you from reaching your potential. Pretty soon you will be that role model to those watching you and be an inspiration to all.
