To go against the dominant thinking of your friends, of most of the people you see every day, is perhaps the most difficult act of heroism you can perform.
Theodore H. White
Breaking free from what is expected of you and acting on your own intuition-- now that’s living. But why don’t we do it? Why do we get stuck? How many people do you know that are doing what they love? How many people step outside the dominant thinking? It’s hard. It’s so much easier to fall in line and do what everyone else is doing. You don’t have to be challenged and you experience only small amounts of fear.
I feel challenged right now. I feel nervous and excited. I’m embarking on something new and I don’t know the outcome. And now I just agreed to carpool with two people that I don’t know. Me in my comfort zone doesn’t want that at all. I want to be in control and ride up by myself and listen to my music. But the part of me that is in this for the experience, knows better. Step outside what is comfortable and embrace a new experience. How many times do you say no to something because it is outside of your comfort zone? Break free from who you were yesterday. Today is a new day and you can be anyone you want to be.
Today I am grateful for my new adventure.
I found that when you do go against the thinking of others you will find who your true friends are.
