Conventional wisdom is almost always wrong. If you take a different route from where the masses are heading, chances are you’ll be on the right path. Your uniqueness makes you stand out if you accept the challenge and embrace the perks that come with it. Remember, you can’t borrow enthusiasm.
If you live in a big city or travel to one and happen to take public transport, you’ll be mesmerized by the sheer number of drained characters dragging their bodies through the day while pouring all their life force into a device.
This one-way energy exchange fills the pockets of shareholders hanging out at country clubs and other Elite gatherings while focusing on what matters most: RELATIONSHIPS. This my friends is a two-way exchange that often catapults one’s wealth and induces exponential growth on a personal level.
Looking into someone’s eyes and greeting them, having a brief conversation with a “stranger”, smiling while you walk in and out of the underground, meeting a beautiful soul, and discovering you have more in common than keeping your phone locked inside your pocket has become a rarity in today’s human-made chaotic environment.
If you are mentally strong, emotionally stable, and not addicted to all the tech gadgets and apps cleverly marketed as lifeboats, you have already ticked the “uniqueness” box in a matrix where non-playing characters are celebrated and held on a pedestal.
How do we best navigate this illusion where everything is twisted, manipulated, and flipped upside-down?
Get comfortable with pushing the limits and boundaries of what’s possible for you.
Get comfortable with being healthy and full of vitality, when your friends are obsessing about medical checks, and taking all kinds of pills and supplements.
Get comfortable with being super successful in business and choosing to hang out with a different breed of high-achievers.
Get comfortable with having lots of free time on your hands, when others are caught up in the rat race program.
Get comfortable with having lots of money and investing into assets, when others focus on buying the latest XYZ liability.
Get comfortable homeschooling your children, when others put them into public or private schools.
Get comfortable with taking care of your parents and grandparents, when your friends and relatives advise you to put them into a nursing home or assisted living center.
Get comfortable living without a TV, turning off your WiFi after a certain hour, and leaving all gadgets outside your bedroom.
Get comfortable with not using WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and Co. as the masses do.
Get comfortable with living outside the norm.
To recap:
Conventional wisdom is almost always wrong.
When I tell people I don’t have any traditional social media and messaging apps installed on my phone, they look at me as if I just landed from Mars. The same applies to my laptop which runs on Linux instead of Windows or macOS.
Do I care about people’s good opinion of me not using one of the mainstream apps?
Nope.
I am super comfortable with interacting and living outside the norm.
Those genuinely interested in connecting and keeping in touch with me will install the open-source messaging apps that I use or will call me.
This basic and simple example reminds me of what one of my mentors always said to me:
Eagles fly alone!
If you’re an avid student of the art of sales like I am, you know exactly what I’m referring to. There are times when you go out and hunt alone because nobody else can see and envision what your third eye and intuition do.
To many, this scenario is frightening because it’s all on you and there’s no one else to blame if things don’t work out as planned.
Get comfortable with taking full responsibility for your actions and mistakes. Fail your way forward. Prepare yourself for super success.
Life is full of amazing adventures when you increase your standards and start living outside the norm. Capitalize on your uniqueness, celebrate your way of looking at life from different perspectives that keep changing and evolving, and stop giving a flying you know what about other people’s opinions.
