I’m going on a road trip in the next few weeks. I’ll be traveling around on roads and paths that many have been traveled on by many others before. I will be on the same road but not for the same reasons. My reasons, my path, will differ from anyone else taking the same road.
I will, no doubt, meet many others traveling the very same roads I am taking. Those I meet may not be able to help with the path but they can help me with the road.
Along the way I will stop at cafes, rest stops, garage stations, shops and wonderful places to sleep. Each of those places will provide me with opportunities to meet others and engage in conversations. These people that I meet probably won’t be aware of the path I’m taking but they will know the road.
The road they just came down might be the road I need to be on. More importantly, I can give them tips, (destinations, distances to places to see etc.) about the road I just traveled.
These roads I will travel are very much like social media tools.
We all have different reasons, approaches and things we wish to accomplish on our path, but we all use the same tools – road, to get there. Each of us, on our own individual path, has something to offer others traveling the same roads, or using the same tools, as we are. No matter what path you’re on, or even if you get stuck, there will always be someone coming along that can help you.
Have you stopped and helped someone lately?
