You don’t need to join the bandwagon

We are in a very volatile time and a very unpredictable economy (sigh). With everything going on in the world, definitions of so many things have changed including the concept of work, survival and even health. What used to be overlooked before are coming to the fore and what used to be significant before appear to be over-saturated that it almost looks like they do not matter anymore.

Because of this, well understood convictions are changing about a lot of things, including visions, goals, aspirations and how to make money. And a lot of us just think if we just follow the trend to do what people seem to want, then maybe we will make headway. Just maybe we can also lay claim to something.

And sometimes this works. But a lot of times, it fails.

Because every working system is rooted in deep personal convictions that extend to everyone within the system. The motivation alone cannot be because it is in vogue. It would have to be because you are invested in making it work.

I know that standing out seems to be so unpopular right now. Even patiently staying on the path that you’ve always known to be yours sometimes even appears daunting. Everyone else seems to be going far ahead without you and you feel frustrated.
