Who Do You Think You Are?

Have you ever looked at someone and thought they might have lost their marbles for not making the same decision you would have? We love to stick our noses in other people’s business. We love to validate, condemn, correct and compare.

When someone steps outside the norm, breaks the rules of the horde, there will invariably be reactions from others. How can someone willingly quit their job without having a new one lined up? What would we do? How could they do that? This is crazy. I could never do that. How dare they! Who do they think they are? It does not make sense to anyone following the ‘common sense rule-book’, which has several chapters on security and how to play it safe. It teaches us everything about using our brain to think everything through, and to make calculated decisions, based on our highly respected intellect.

But are we responsible for anyone’s actions, their responses, and their feedback? Absolutely not. The most freeing part of any journey from bullshit to wisdom is the freedom that comes with it!

The core of the matter is this: When you at any point stop, if only for a nanosecond to look for validation, you are not yet free. We know knowledge can lead to wisdom, but there might not be applause from the crowd. It is a lonely path until you find the value of it. It is an empowering path. As long as it is yours, it leads to “home”.
