What others do

Often in life, we wait to see what others do.

This is society thing, it comes from childhood, school, and work. It’s ingrained into us.

‘Watch Mary, see how she does it’.

It is born out of the industrialised world making us compliant, interchangeable, cogs in their machine. It has a pattern we need to follow so the system makes sure we follow what’s been done before.

Curiosity is removed and failure or deviation from their ‘curriculum’ is shamed.

The best inventions, creations, art, music, writing, new things come from those who follow themselves and do not follow the pattern.

In an oversaturated, bland, average, mass world, it is the rebels who stand out and shape the world, not those who watch what others do.

Stay young

Age is not a number that increases at every birthday.

It is a mindset.

Many people get to a stage in life, some even in their twenties and decide that is it, step on the treadmill and follow the path to retirement and death.

Always look with idealistic eyes, always be open to possibilities, always believe that you can, always think that whatever you are doing there is another chance, if it fails just try again.

Stay as the child that society tries desperately to turn into an adult.

Being an adult is a simple tool of control to numb us into being employed to build other people’s dreams and fortunes.

Stay young forever.
