It’s one
thing to like a quote. It’s another thing to live a quote. I love reading
quotes that are thought-provoking and spark a mini revelation. This
has always been one of my most favorite quotes – not only because I like it,
but also because I try my best to live it.
I avoid “following
the crowd” even though I have been questioned time and time again as to why
not.
I refuse to partake
in “popular” activities if they don’t feel right to me – for example, playing
beer pong and smoking hookah. If asked
to join, I simply smile, say no and move on.
I don’t owe anyone an explanation, and I don’t dwell on the asker's reaction.
The point is…
it might be a social norm, but it's not my norm. My norm is to listen to my heart to help
guide my decision. This method works for
me, and I hope you trust your heart to do the same.
It’s like
the saying that goes “what’s right is not always popular and what’s popular is
not always right.”
It’s not
always easy, but it’s always worth it.
