“Let other people live small lives, not you.” Jim Rohn
Most of us learn by watching others. Without knowing how to do something, we resort to mimicking how someone else is seen to have done it. Often this is helpful, but there are occasions when it becomes detrimental. What is most of the people you observe are living below their highest potential? What is those you mimic are on the wrong track and headed no where? What if the way they live, the habits you are shadowing, are going to lead them to an unhealthy and difficult season in their life?
Who you choose to learn from matters. Others can choose to live in crisis, stress, sickness, and anger. You choose to go another way. People may choose not to dream big, but instead decide to try to simply survive. You decide to go for it, to shoot for your biggest dreams.
There is a tyranny of expectations, a pressure to live up to what the group is doing. If the group is headed nowhere, cut loose from the pack and head for the mountaintop.
What keeps you tied to others expectations?
