I have been influenced hugely by Seth Godin and his writing each day. This one was outstanding so I had to share it here… to spread the thoughts.
Everyone else is
Well, not everyone. Just most people.
When you do something that everyone else is doing, you’re likely to get what everyone else is getting.
But in almost every population, “everyone” leaves out the people who go first, who change things, who are weird and who challenge the status quo. That’s an option, even when it doesn’t seem that way.
Mass culture gets us more mass culture. It’s not the only choice.
— Seth Godin
And I promise to be me. Weird, different, and challenging the status quo to change things. Should I go first? Absolutely. Will I start? Ah, that is an excellent question where one gets stuck between being someone vs being everyone.
