A great man once said doing what the masses do is a sure way to failure.
Conformity is one of those things that on one level can seem like that safe thing to do, but on another level can be a sure path to failure. It’s important that as an individual you take the time to find out what YOU want.
I don’t think it will be a stretch to presume that there’s a voice
inside of you calling you to set out on a journey and life of adventure.
I believe it’s in all of us.
If you want to accomplish a
certain outcome, you have to create the life you want. While it’s good
to know what society is saying you do not need to necessarily follow
what society says you are ‘supposed to do. Dare to step out and truly
create a life of your own choosing.
Some of you reading this
right now may desire to do things that would make you happy. Things that
would ignite you and make you feel fulfilled. But you hesitate. You
procrastinate. Not necessarily because it’s the wrong thing to do. But
because you don't have the approval and or validation of others. The
herd mentality. There comes a time when you must step into your own
world, and plant your own flag there. And really start living and
striving for what you want!
I can guess that right now there's
a voice calling out to you from deep within. Challenging you to step
away from what’s normal, to forsake being the typical person living in a
conventional and typical way...and become the leader you were destined
to be. Doing what's really in your heart to do.
Sometimes
answering the voice inside leads to growth and it can mean leaving some
people behind. Embrace this. The life of a leader can be a lonely one at
times. It's lonely at the top. But it will be rewarding.
Most
people are fearful of stepping out of their comfort zone and stepping
away from the crowd to do what they truly want to do. They find solace
and comfort in numbers and I suppose it’s easier to do what everyone
around you has always done. For example, It's easy to work a typical job
you may not like or enjoy, instead of going for the career you really
want.
The way I see it, you weren't designed by nature to do what's necessarily easy.
You were designed to grow and face challenges. Don't be afraid to step
out of your comfort zone, away from those around you. If you choose to
stay where you are, those around you may convince you to kill your
dreams. You may be told to ‘be realistic’; ‘play it safe’; ‘don't rock
the boat.’ But this will not serve your goals and aspirations. Break out
from the flock do not be a sheep. Soar as high as your heart desires
and follow your own bliss.
Think about it and take action…
