Now being a follower is not bad. The danger is, when you are following, you are not searching. When you are following, you are passively engaging, but not actively pursuing. In plain words, when you are following someone, you are not striving to be your best self.
I like to interpret the words, "The way is narrow, and few are those who find it" to mean, each of us must find our personal mission given only to us. It is part of being our authentic selves. It requires courage, for it begins with self-discovery. Then comes acceptance, because new beginnings can only start with where we really are.
If you take on the challenge of self-discovery, you will find that small doorway into destiny. Only you fit into your personal destiny. It won't be a clear path. There will be brambles to clear, dark alleys to endure, and times when too many directions loom before you. But once set upon that journey, you will be loathed to leave it. Because joy comes not only in possession of your treasure, but in the purest pursuit of it as well.
