"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." – Ralph Waldo Emerson

Simple: Do not go to the place that the path leads you to. Instead, do not use the path and make your own path.

What it means: You should not follow how other people have lived. You should go your own way, and make your life interesting and distinct from others.
